Twitter in Plain English

[@TheLionTurtle]

FINALLY! I never really understood the function of Twitter before. My friends and others do not use Twitter but I do, however, just for the celebrity updates. Now I can use it differently. Thx.

[@Stephen937]

Man, this is the Twitter I miss dearly :/ social media isn’t fun anymore.

Not a fan of tweeting, but this video is a creative and simple means of explaining its use. Worth the watch.

This is the second video I've seen of yours leelefever. You explain social excellent, very easy for anyone who doesn't quite understand to workings of it. Top Job.

[@MHKing03]

This is a bit old now, but it looks like Twitter is still essentially the same: an oversimplified, inferior version of Facebook that feeds people's short attention spans and addiction to the latest info, no matter how trivial. I stayed away from Twitter for a long time and I'm only using it now because it's required for a class. I always thought the idea of a 140 character limit is needlessly restrictive, forces people who have something substantive to say to spread their message across several tweets so their followers have to chase down all of them, and has no significant benefit other than encouraging people to be concise.

Hi leelefever! I am hoping you will provide me with the embedding information so I can included this video in my wiki for my students. Can you please tell me what I would need to do to obtain this information? Thanks!

[@gmork84]

twitter is like reading "we amuse ourselfes to death" and thinkin: "how can i even top the useless information on tv?"

[@briannemcd]

Is there a video by common craft on how to use Twitter to engage in conversation for professional development?

Follow Poetri as he lives life living inside a Social Network. These four episodes are hilarious. Starts Monday on my page. Hilarious.

Twitter is really cool and simple, I hope they keep it that way... Good tool for marketing products and business.

[@sarahziemke48]

Do u HAVE TO HAVE A COMPUTER TO TWEET OR IS MY PHONE ENOUGH?

[@lashistoriadeb]

"You wouldn't send an email to a friend to tell him you are having coffee. Your friend doesn't need to know that" Do we really need to know that at all? and I also like the use of expression "It was the Real world"

[@Sararizzles]

whenever i reply to somebody, i don't think they can see it. i've previously had my tweets protected but changed it back to normal a couple weeks ago, i changed my username at the time too as i wanted a fresh start. whenever i type my username into the twitter search to see my tweets, nothing shows up.. i reply to someone and type in their username to see their replies and my username isn't there? and i noticed nobody has tweeted me back when i talk to them.. why can't they see me? @ACHELEberry

[@simonenoli4418]

And thats pretty much why twitter should never be used: it is the natural extreme of sociopathic behaviour applied to social media. As a results more than "bring people closer" twitter overloads of short pointless annoying messages (aka SPAM). Not only. As you can see people have started selling followers (lets make a point here. Followers might be useful to promote something but seriously this kind of promotion is like having a 4 miles square sign in the middle of the sahara) that actually contribute to develop this sociopathic behaviour even further. We will become a bunch of self assorbed morons that act like know-it-all all the time and basically doom ourselves to ignorance and shallowness.

@JerkBoy961 Why would I need Twitter? I'm already following you...

[@hippokonder]

Amazingly cool to only send one sentence at a time, so no conversation can ever make sense. We want you to only write 140 letters in each tweet, because than we are different and cool. Maybe not!

[@Ruinkylastname]

Updates is keeping close to you

[@Arexsos]

Who remembers when this was on the homepage of Twitter?

[@Enigmatism415]

The premise is flawed. The reason people ask things like "what are you doing" is that we want to appear outwardly cordial and interested; it's part of the social narrative to which we mindlessly adhere for comfort and stability. Consider the ubiquitous greeting "how are you?" Do we actually care? Obsessions aside, I'd expect a resounding "no." We don't make small talk to reap meaningful information, but rather to indulge in the process. These pleasantries are reciprocal, not communal, exchanges.

[@ThePandajpg]

good... this worked because it is in plain english. tho official twitter about page is in chinese

[@JamieLovesGirls19]

How come i'm only getting the notification that someone is following me in my area, and not everyone?

[@jacobshelley88]

at 0:23 you say how my friend doesn't need to know that I'm having coffee...But then you go on to explain how I should have twitter to keep people updated on the little things of what I'm doing.. That doesn't make sense.

[@adriannecortez2040]

thank you so much i have been confused on twitter this whole time and could not find a basic explanation of it. Your video was really helpful.

[@lionpharoh]

I think twitter is dedicated for those famous and acclaimed people, that others want to know more about them or from them frequently. I prefer Facebook because it gives me a vast chance to share whatever I want. in other words, twitter limits me by those 140 characters.
