Twitter Challenged - HELP!
« on: June 03, 2010, 12:40:13 PM »
I am registered with Twitter, and finally got a phone that supports my 'tweeting' need.  I just can't seem to tweet properly. 

Do I use the '@' symbol plus my ID to tweet and then put #bringseanhome afterward? 

And before you ask - I did try to get help from Twitter, but I need real people to get me on board with this.

In order to use twitter via phone, you either:
a) surf the web via the phone and tweet like you normally would (iphone and similar phones have apps you can use to do that)
b) do it via txt message; which is what I do. Twitter has instructions on how to set it up. Basically you add your phone # to your account and they send you a test message, then you go from there.
[I opted for not receiving tweets by txt since it's a lot and I don't have unlimited texting but everyone has different preferences]

You do not need to add @ when you tweet, unless you want to refer to someone or say something to someone. If you want to send me a msg, you'd tweet "@liesl78 Good morning!".

If you want everyone to see it, simply tweet "Good morning!"

We use the hashtag #BringSeanHome when tweeting about Hague/Abduction cases.
Example: "Please ask your congressman/woman to sponsor HR3140 & HR1326 #BringSeanHome"
The hashtag enables you to click on it and see all tweets that used the same tag.

Did I answer your questions? :-)
