Twitter:
is an American microblogging and social networking service on which users post and
interact with messages known as "tweets"
.
Registered users can:
post, like, and retweet tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access
Twitter through its website interface, through Short Message Service (SMS) or its
mobile-device application software ("app"). Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco,
California, and has more than 25 offices around the world.[16] Tweets were originally
restricted to 140 characters, but was doubled to 280 for non-Asian languages in
November 2017
History
Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan
Williams, launched in July of that year. The service rapidly gained worldwide
popularity.
The origin of the "Twitter" title:
Dorsey said: "we came across the word 'twitter', and it was just perfect. The definition
was 'a short burst of inconsequential information,' and 'chirps from birds'. And that's
exactly what the product was"
Twitter logo;
In 2012, Douglas Bowman created a further simplified version of Larry the Bird,
keeping the solid silhouette but making it more similar to a mountain bluebirdThis new

logo was called simply the "Twitter Bird " and has been used as the company's
branding.
How To Use Twitter
How to Make a Twitter Account on Desktop;

 Step 1: Go to Twitter.com or download the app and sign up for an account. The
"Full name" that you provide will be your display name, but unlike Facebook,
you can change your display name to whatever you want as many times as you
want, so it's really easy to stay anonymous if you so choose.

 Step 2: Enter in your phone number. This is a form of authentication that will
help in case you ever lose access to your account. You'll want to use a phone
you actually have access to because the next step will ask you to verify a number
sent via text.
 Step 3: Pick a password, and make it secure!
 Step 4: Choose your interests.
 Step 5: Once you're in.
 Step 6: Pick an avatar
 Step 7: Write your bio.

How to Make a Twitter Account on Mobile

 Step 1: Fill out your name and phone number/email address. Make sure to use
your real one as the next step will ask you to verify.
 Step 2: Enter in the verification number that you received at whatever contact
information you put in in Step 1. Choose a password. Make it strong, and please,
for the love of god, don't use "dragon" like everyone else.
 Step 3: Choose whether you'd like to sync your contacts. This may help you find
Twitter followers you know, but if you don't want to, just hit "not now."

 Step 4: Search for interests. This will help Twitter recommend good profiles for
you to follow.

 Step 5: Twitter will provide you with some accounts you can follow based on
your interests. Pick out a few you like. If you see them to start you feed off on
the right foot.

 Step 6: You're in! Simply click on the blue button on the top right to tweet, the
grey silhouette on the top left to change your profile picture and settings, and get
tweeting!
Twitter Privacy;
Remember, everything on Twitter is public by default. However, you can easily make
your own private experience. If you'd like to make Twitter a place where you privately
interact with friends, just set your account to private. Turning this setting on means you
will have to manually give permission to anyone who wants to follow you if you'd like
them to be able to see your tweets and communicate with you. With a private account,
only the people who you've given permission to follow you will see your tweets.
