Need twitter help plz
« on: August 08, 2010, 08:47:54 PM »
Twitter seems like a great deal and all the kids are using it, but it's hard for me to get involved given I don't know how to read it.

When you see '@whatever' does that mean the person whos account you are reading sent that message to the listed handle?

What's with the pound signs?

Can you select and sort those 'posts' which came from others vs. those written by the person you're trying to follow?

What makes lightning?

Is it necessary to have your own twitter account to follow those belonging to other people?

Can twitter users select which messages they want to appear/disappear from their visible 'wall'?

If I have a twitter account, can I block/unblock certain people from either reading or visibly posting to my 'wall'?


Thanks dudez this has really been wearing on me. :blush:

new tweet by me w/ hashtag (stupid)
new link by me (stupid)
new follower (already a feature of twitter)
new favorite by me (stupid)
new tweet by me in area (stupid)

Would getting a "mobile notification" suffice?  If so, ask EMAWmeister how.

well, i'm going to leave this thread pinned for 24 more hours so if any of you find research on this topic try to get it in here by this time tomorrow.  #tweethelp

If you give me 5 dollars for every time I email you with an @nikestore tweet I can make it possible. but seriously... why won't it work to "Turn on notification" on the twitter app in @nikestore's twitter profile?
