On the road to mastering Twitter

Twitter

Download
            Twitter also allows users to download their old tweets. User can go into settings menu and click on Request your archive to download older posts. Twitter will send an email with a like to download.

Hashtags
            Hashtags also written as “#hashtag” let user add categories, keywords, or probably anything to the tweet. It allows user to add or tag more tweets on a subject. Keyword is followed by the number sign, #, with no spaces. New feature allows hashtags to automatically turned into links to Twitter searches.

Tweets
            The word “Tweets” was created from Twitter – Users can tweet anyone and is visible to everyone. It basically allows user to send and read the other user’s updated posts. This feature is similar as subscribing or following in the other social media.

Notifications
            Similar to Facebook, Twitter also provides a real-time notifications feature. User will received a pop-up note in user’s web browser whenever there is something to notify. Notification feature is very useful because it is fully interactive that the user can reply or follow right from the notification.

Searches
            In Twitter, user can search for a keyword in the searching engine at the top of the page, in which can be also saved. There is other function that allows users to do advanced search like “Tweets with links” or “Tweets near you”.
