Twitter like ABC!

Hey guys, I've promised to teach those who wanna go on Twitter. Have not had "physical time" with y'all so here's some virtual help instead!

Firstly let me share with you what Twitter's all about. It's simply a very shortened version of Facebook or any other online social network, except that Twitter enables you to only see one-liners or a really short phrase/status of what your friend(s) update, what we call 'tweet.'


So yes, there're no games, photo galleries or lengthy profiles in Twitter.

Everything is easy, fuss-free and simple to use. And that's what I like because I can get to know the thoughts of all my Twitter friends real-time, which makes it totally convenient!


You're not far from being from Twitter, here's what you need:

1. Go to http://twitter.com/ and sign up.


2. After successfully creating your account, tadaaaa.... You now have a Twitter account.


3. 'Follow' your friends or even renowned personality like your favourite local/Hollywood celebrities, to even our very own CHC pastors! Click on 'following' and search for people you want to 'follow,' in order to see updates when they Tweet. It can be done via email address, or name.


Some people you (might) know, simply go to their profile and click 'follow':



Interesting ones to follow:


Profile:

4. See your 'following's tweets when you click 'Home,' the entire list will appear

5. Instances where others reply to your tweet publicly are called 'Mentions' and they can be seen when you click on @BerniceKoo below home, for example. The entire list of replies will be generated as such:


That's it, as easy as ABC yea!

Hope to see you 'following' us on Twitter soon :)
