What are tweets?
In times of social media, internet users are in personal contact with each other. Using so-called tweets, you can spread news on Twitter. How does it work, what exactly are tweets and what should you pay attention to when microblogging?
How to generate tweets
- contact Twitter at. It doesn't cost anything and is very quick.
- You will get one e-mail with the confirmation of your registration. You have to confirm this registration again by clicking on a link provided.
- Now fill in your profile if you do not want to remain anonymous (companies should fill out the profile as completely as possible) and upload a picture or your logo.
- In the "What's new?" Your first text. It cannot be longer than 140 characters.
- You may add so-called hashtags to your short message. These are search terms, i.e. tags that other Twitter users can search for in a targeted manner.
- If you find someone else's post particularly interesting, you can retweet them. That means that this post will be forwarded to your own followers. With this function, some messages spread very quickly in the Internet.
- Add a button to your homepage "Follow us" a. This is another way to draw attention to the fact that you are now represented on Twitter.

You should be aware of this
- Before you start tweeting, it's a good idea to pick out topics of interest to you and subscribe to these people's tweets. You become a so-called follower. To do this, click the "Follow" icon.
- You can "unfollow" a member at any time by clicking the appropriate button (the "I'm following!" button turns red and the label changes as soon as you move the mouse drive over).
- Only write tweets that will be of interest to others. Most people won't care what time you take your lunch break or what you're up to tonight unless your main topic is restaurant testing or something similar.
- Tweets are subject to a length limit. A tweet can be up to 140 characters long. That is why it is also called the SMS on the Internet. So be brief.
- Links are automatically shortened to 19 characters on Twitter when you click on "tweet". Since links often contain a lot of characters, this shortening is a nice thing because the available characters are not shortened too much by a link.
- As a company or self-employed person, don't just write promotional tweets. Most people will be bored or even annoyed by this. You should of course point out special offers.
Twittering is very easy. You also don't have to send five tweets out into the world every day. If you only write interesting things, you will also get followers.
