Twitter

Twitter is ubiquitous, and needs little introduction. But first, make sure to check your account settings and mobile settings on Twitter. Your email will not be revealed to others, but others can find you if they know your email or cell number, depending on your settings; this may be a good or bad thing, depending on your desired privacy!  Here is a good introduction to Twitter. Make sure your tweet says something because generic text such as “Hey, check out this link” may inadvertently flag it as Twitter spam. You can also connect Twitter to your WordPress Site. Tweeting directly from twitter.com is always an option, but it’s much easier with a Twitter app:

  1. Check out a number of Twitter apps for mobile devices (there are lots of others too not made by Twitter)
  2. Make sure to add the Twitter Share Bookmarklet to your browser
  3. Or you can grab TweetDeck for your Mac or PC!
