Twitter 101?



A lot of company's have giveaways on Twitter so it is a good thing to have and check often.  I know that Twitter confuses some so I will try to help you through that :)  BE WARNED I am doing this to help you guys get more freebies BUT i am no twitter expert by far! :)

What is Twitter? 
 Twitter is a social network site where you post like mini status updates you only have 140  character spaces to do so. You can follow your friends and keep up with them or if you are like me you can follow random celebrities  and news organizations. You can post links or pics on twitter.  I also follow alot of the coupon blogs and different company's.

How do i get Twitter? 
All you have to do it go to www.twitter.com and sign up for an account. Once you have your acct you can search for people by clicking on the find people at the top right of the twitter page.


How do I follow someone?
After you have signed up for twitter go HERE This is my Twitter acct. At the top you will see my name (Tigluena) right below that you will see "Follow" all you do is click that to follow me! Then any tweets I post will appear in your timeline on your homepage of twitter.

How do I use Twitter? 
You can "tag" people or company's by using the @ before their twitter name. Like to tag me you would go @tigluena  Um There is also another form of "tagging" or trending using the "hash tag" which is the # symbol.
 The one I personally use most often is for BzzAgent  #imabzzagent   Using a company's hash tag along with tagging them helps them to see you and spread the word about them and you. This is especially useful when attending a "Twitter party"

Why should I bother with twitter?
 Alot of company's host twitter parties where they giveaway coupons and great prizes!  These giveaways are exclusive to Twitter. Millions of people use twitter so company's like to make sure they stay current. It is a GREAT way to score some awesome freebies!
 On Oct. 5th SheSpeaks will be having a Twitter party for Cerra Be aware Act Reflect Program. Find out more about it HERE  Follow SheSpeaks on Twitter HERE! I have a program package coming from Cerra and SheSpeaks. Can't wait to show you  and the twitter party!
 Also right now Bzzagent has the The Daily Bzzz. which is done mainly through Twitter, I do THINK you can now comment on certain posts they make to be entered as well. 

I am sorry I am not the best at twitter LOL Maybe someone that knows a little more can post below, But these are the basis to get you started ^.^ You can CLICK HERE to follow me!
