TwitTip #5 How2See The Tweet They are Replying to
If the tweet is a reply to your tweet, you can click on their tweet and the original message
will appear in the upper fight hand corner.

If it's not a reply, to your message, you will see others mentioned in a shout out that this
tweet is in reply to.

So if you're doing a conversation, always do it by using the reply button. Don't start a new
message if you want the person you're chatting with to see what you are replying to.

There are potentially 3 Icons in the right hand corner of the tweet. One looks like a piece of
film. It means a video was attached. The next looks like a conversation bubble from a
cartoon. The last on is an arrow poing to the right.

If anyone knows the names of these, let me know.

If anyone has a better understanding or know of a webpage explaining these, please let me
know so I have accurate information for people.

As far as I can tell, all 3 icons when clicked bring up info from the right hand pannel and
merely give you a little advance idea of what's there.

How I use Twitter & Why

"Tweet Adder*" most recommended software! Carl
(I've been using almost twoyears. It is a great labor saver! Tweets for me while I sleep or when I'm away
from home! Unfollows those that don't follow me back and more automatically!
"Tweet Adder"!)


* URL Shortening.  

If you are preparing your tweets in advance, you may want to set up a shortening service that will take your
URL and shrink it down. This allows you to get more text in the message.

I recommend Adjix or Ow.ly for shortening. Very fast. Go to www.adjix.com or  www.ow.ly. You can
enter your URL and  the Captcha or login with Twitter. I recommend logging in. Once logged in, you enter
URL and hit "Shrink It" or hit enter on you keyboard and you get a shortened URL! Adjix is simplest to use!

When Tweeting a URL, ensure the full http etc is present. That way the link with be live.

http://.www.carlwattsartist.com would be live on Twitter. carlwattsartist.com would not be live and would
require people to copy and paste to visit page!

You can drag their logo to your bookmark bar for speed of use.

Man survives best when man is helping man survive! A person is only as valuable as he helps or assist others!
Need some help in life without being told what to do, what to think,
contact me. Have a great day! Carl

"Each RT is more valuable than the last. RT please! #Quote #AwesomeTeam" Carl Watts.
The power of the internet is the spreading of information. Each RT spreads information,
knowledge, further and further and potentially can circle the globe and change mankind.
This is done by a simple RT by you, helping mankind. In advance, thanks for helping!*

*The use of a hashmark "#" in front of a word is tracking method. It is used to establish trends and allows a subject
to be located easier. Don't over use #s. "A hashtag is similar to other web tags- it helps add tweets to a category"
per Twitter. See full data:

Key to all this is an internet not controlled by government or a few corporations. Support
