World News Tweet- Twitter Tutorial- Creating and Activating Your Twitter Account
Step 1- Select Start a New Account
Step 2- Fill In Information
Here you want to select a name that is "fun", a name you want to brand, or a name that is keyword optimized. For instance, if you want to meet people who love ponies, put the word pony as close to the front as possible for your username.
Step 3- Selecting Friends to Invite
Twitter has the power to match the email adds of your email account. The email providers are aol., gmail, yahoo, msn, and hotmail. If you have no such email account, I highly recommend you start one or a few.
Twitter will ask you to select your provider, your username, and your password. At the end, there will be a screen that lists all the twitter users connected to your address book(s). Use common sense here. Don't send an invite to people you KNOW are NOT interested in ponies.
Step 4- Your option to choose the twitter recommendations of twitter accounts to get you started.
For those creating a purely newstweeter site, it is highly recommended you at least deselect any recommend that doesn't produce the type of news or information your twitter account is going to be used to filter.
Step 5- Activate your RSS Update
You should see the home screen that allows you to tweet. If you want your RSS to reflect the tweets you receive, as well as send, then go to the bottom of the right side strip on the screen
On the RSS word itself, right click and select “Copy Link Location”.
Step 6- Select Profile
If you want your RSS feed to only update your tweets, then select Profile, scroll to bottom of right strip and notice now that RSS contains your username in it.......
Right-click on the RSS Feed and select “Copy Link Location”
