Frequently Asked Questions Getting to know Twitter:

What is it?

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages.  People write short updates, often called "tweets"  of 140 characters or fewer.  These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search

Do I need anything special to use it?
All you need to use Twitter is an internet connection or a mobile phone. Join us here!

How do I find my friends?
When you create an account, you can search for people by name or user name, import friends from other networks, or invite friends via email.  If you don't want to do that, follow some of the people we've suggested. Once you've found your friends, follow them to start getting their updates. 
What does it mean to follow someone on Twitter?

Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates.  

When you follow someone, every time they post a new message, it will appear in your Twitter home page.  New messages are added to your home page as people post them, so you always get the updates in real time.  When you log in, you can see what the latest updates are.  Twitter offers other ways to follow people too: you can get updates from certain people on your phone!
