Default Don't know a thing about Twitter - 07-06-2009, 01:20 PM

I would like to follow certain people on Twitter but don't have a clue how to do that. Can it be done with the Storm 9530?

What do I have to do to set it up and do I need an app to do this?

Thanks

And yes, I did a search but didn't find anything useful on getting started.

There are apps for Twitter but I have not found one that I like. You can go to the mobile URL and use that. They need to make one as good as the Iphone has. I guess we will have to wait?

Ubertwitter is far and away the best. It is fast and feature full. Far better than using the web interface.

I would be very surprised if you do not like it. The location feature was/is a bit dodgy though.

Thanks for the replies. In creating the account would it be better to use your name or a user name? What do most do?

Most people use a username rather than their real name.

I agree with the above posted that suggested you try out Ubertwitter. It is the best app out there right now in terms of function. Twitterberry also runs good but you can not do as much from within the app itself.

If you are looking for people to follow, I would suggest you go to some of the directory sites that are sprouting up all over the place. A good one to start with is wefollow. Just go there and type in a keyword that describes what type of person you would like to follow and hundreds will pop up. You can also sign up for 3 categories to include yourself in so people can find you as well. Then you just have to start following people. The more you follow and the more you tweet the more people will start following you.

Any other questions you can send me a message on Twitter just type @Ask4Prayer in your text box and then the message and it will go right to me. I will be glad to help in anyway that I can.
