Have you recently signed up for a Twitter account? If so, you are very close to getting started. Soon enough you will be well on your way to following others, and maybe even drawing in some followers of your own. No matter what, you will never have a good time using Twitter unless you know how to tweet. This may sound easy enough, but there are some details that you need to be aware of to ensure that you do not get caught up.

The most important detail of a tweet is that it cannot be any longer than 140 characters. So if you are the long winded type you better get used to cutting back on this if you are going to use Twitter. You will type your words into the box that is featured on your Twitter page. From there, once you hit update your words go live. Doesn’t sound to hard, right?

There may come a time when you want to direct one of your tweets towards another use. You can do this easily enough by clicking the reply to button. After doing this, you can send an @ message to any user that you are following or somebody that is following you.

Don’t be too worried. Once you use Twitter for a few minutes you will have a better understanding of what you are doing. Now that you know how to tweet there is nothing else to it but to do it. Are you ready to make your first update?
