Stallard12 157 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 I signed up about a year ago, but have no idea how to use it, can anyone help? I just tried to send one to a news personality who is big into tweeting and encourages people to tweet her. I found her list of tweets and at the side it said 'Tweet Dana Perino', I clicked on that and got a text box, typed my tweet and clicked on 'Tweet' (sorry to be repetative!). I was then back at her list of tweets, but nothing had appeared. Have I done something wrong or do I have to wait awhile? I have all the passwords and name etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dizzy 393 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 Sorry I've no idea Stallard as I've never tweeted... well apart from when I've been trying to encourage the little birds to come to our garden for the fat balls I put up I think Gary is a twit so he might know.

Dizzy 393 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 Oops I meant 'twitterer'... but it made me chuckle when I saw my mistake so I left it. What is it they say 'many a true word said in jest' guess that's me banned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfie 299 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 You need to be careful that it's the real Dana Perino because there may well be others using his/her name. After the name you should see @ and then if it's something like danaP3rino then it's not the real one. The other thing is that his/her Twitter account may be protected and only confirmed followers may tweet. With these you may need to follow and wait for confirmation to tweet.

Dizzy 393 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 How do you know if someone's the real person or a fake then? If you tweet on someones page can they, and everyone else, then see all your other tweets everywhere else? I was about to join but not sure I fancy it now ......

Stallard12 157 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks anyway Dizzy. You may have something Wolfie, I have heard of the 'Follow' thing, but did't know that it affected the ability to 'Tweet'. Maybe I have to somehow sign up to 'follow' and then try the message thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfie 299 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 If you are sure that you are on the right account, just click on 'follow' you should get a reply in time, and then you can tweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
