How does twitter work?

[Nick M]

I made a twitter account and i tried to search myself and another account my friend made and neither showed up? Do you have to wait until it shows up er something? or should it just be there.

Have you posted any tweets yet?

Twitter has its own search engine called Summize, which indexes all the tweets and profiles. So your account will show up sooner or later.

you have to tweet something first or just give it some time (because it takes about 24 hours to get indexed by twitter, and longer if you want to show up on google with that twitter name)

search for your username not your actual name.
