Someone help me use Twitter? - Tyler - 02-14-2013 01:24 PM
I recently set up a twitter account because I don't like Facebook, but I didn't use it for a while. I've now deleted Facebook and I am going to use Twitter, but I don't have a clue how to use it? If I tweet, can anyone see that? Or just followers and people I'm following? I don't know
how do I even find people or anything?

When you tweet, that tweet is sent to all of your followers' home pages. They are not sent to all of your followers, as some people have millions of followers who probably don't care about your life. However, your tweets can be read by anyone, if they can find them. If there is something you don't want everyone to hear, send them a private message. I recently deleted my twitter account, but if I remember correctly, you can search names using the search bar at the top, and I believe Twitter uses your location to find the most relevant people, but I am not sure. To explain Twitter fully in words would be impossible, so I'm just gonna say search YouTube.
I hope that helps

Twitter is basically the short version of Facebook, all the comments and posting with no games or extra features. If you have Facebook it seems pointless to use Twitter as well.
