I will have a lot to learn, too, but think it will be worth the invest of time and energy.

(15,682 posts)Perhaps I could follow you (on twitter) and learn something along the way.
I've been so lazy about doing it myself it's become embarrassing.
Cha
(297,196 posts)It was like a foreign land but the more I've reposted tweets from twitter pages the more I see.. "hey, I could do that, too!"
It doesn't feel like the right time to start yet.. more into the New Year.. end of January I'm thinking. There will still be plenty to Tweet!
They don't let us C/P twitter icons
I will let you know, C_Z

(85,996 posts)The main benefit of twitter and tweets is the links to substantive things. It can outstrip GOOGLE and allows you to focus your searches for news and events according to your interests.
Most users understand that the one-liners serve as headlines or intros to whatever they link to in the tweet. Properly set up, following only those sources that you trust and are truly informative, your twitter feed can serve as your own personal google for leading or breaking news. Your twitter page can read like a personalized news reference.
IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO YOU CHOOSE TO 'FOLLOW'
First, get all signed up and stuff...
Then, make a list of public folks you trust and like (media folks, activists, entertainers, etc.) and either search Twitter, or the net, to see if they have a Twitter account. Then go to their Twitter page and follow them by clicking on the 'Follow' link in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
After you follow a few folks, go to the main twitter page and that will reveal your personal 'feed' with tweets from the folks you chose to follow. Sometimes you get comments about news events, sometimes comments and a link to what they're referring to. Sometimes you get a relevant pic or a pic of an official statement. Sometimes you get a retweet from them.
Hashtags (#) are automatically linked and can take you to a subject or issue specific twitter feed, like #MalaysiaAirlines or #Flight17.
News is mostly specific and directed to a source with a link. It's more focused and can be a really good news feed if you 'follow' the right sources. Also, objectionable sources are mostly invisible. Set up right, following the right sources, it can be uncluttered by bull. Comments to tweets are hidden and only accessed by expanding tweets.
You'll have your own personal page where everything you tweet and retweet will appear. There's also a page where replies to your tweets are listed, along with notifications of folks who choose to follow you or 'like' your tweets.
You can also go to individual's pages and view their tweets, like media folks. Some tweet numerous times during the day, some don't. Others folks, like Marcy McGowan @marcylauren and Allan Brauer @allanbrauer tweet and retweet almost all day long, almost everyday, and are great one-stop resources for breaking and Democratic news.
Tweeting can be a bit more complicated, but just sending a tweet out is cake. Just write it down in the box provided and click on 'tweet.' Beyond that, there are several techniques which you can use to include other tweets inside your own, but that will take some time and practice (not hard) to master. Posting pics from your computer is a breeze, and you can also post a pic of text to get past the character limit.
Remember, your twitter feed is only as good or productive as the folks you follow. You can also check on the folks THEY follow and discover even more like-minded people to follow. By networking your tweets you can both increase the folks following you, as well as the folks you choose to follow.
I really hope I helped. I encourage you and anyone else reading to jump right in with both feet.

(297,196 posts)copy and paste your tutorial here and put it in my Journal so I'll have this to refer to when I'm ready.
Looks like a lot of good insider info that's gleaned through lots of Tweeting.
