Right! Well done if you’ve signed up for a Twitter account, but you’re not quite sure how to use it – this post is for you!
The most important factor in having a useful Twitter experience is to have a ‘client’ to use it from. A client is just a program, or means of being able to access Twitter conveniently for the following purposes:
- posting something new on Twitter
- checking what your friends have posted on Twitter.
You can do this by going to www.twitter.com each time, but there are far more convenient ways – from your browser, gmail, or your phone for example. Here are some web sites that should be of some use:
