What is Twitter?
For those who have not used Twitter a couple of explanations that will help you to get started. Twitter is a social network that is used for micro-blogging.
Who is using Twitter
People, companies, artists, politicians and organisations express themselves, give opinions, advertise, recommend articles etc by means of 140 character messages that are called tweets. In most cases, those tweets are public and accessible to everyone.
How do I get a Twitter account?
Although it’s not necessary to be a subscriber to twitter to follow the messages, it is recommended good practice to register and get an account via this link : http://twitter.com/
How do I login
You’ll need a login preferably using with a your username so your contacts will find you more easily this will be your identification on the twitter network. It is recommended you also fill in the bio section (160 characters) so that your contacts will know who you are (and what your interests are)
Once I’ve got my account open?
Then you can start to build a network, which means that you can find contacts that you’re interested in (as a ‘Twitter follower’) and contacts who are interested in you and your publications will find you (they will be ‘following’ you).
The network doesn’t need to be symmetrical i.e. you can follow people that don’t follow you and vice versa … but if you follow someone that follows you, you become “friend” and can send direct (private) messages (DM)
At first it is recommended to follow people that you know, companies that you’re interested in, newspapers that you read….
