Thanks a lot. I’ll create a Twitter acccount now. This seems like fun. I’m also going to pester Konman and Muscrap for that Enemalta contract since the Nationalist Party won’t do it.

Go to http://www.twitter.com, click on ‘sign up’ and follow the instructions.

To tweet, click on the draft button (the icon’s a quill) and type a message – max 140 characters.

To address someone directly, use their Twitter handle – that’s the bit starting with @ e.g. @JosephMuscat_JM is you know who.

To reply to someone, click on the arrow immediately below their message.

To link your message to other message on the same theme, use hash tag e.g. #ShivNair That helps other users to find your message by searching for a particular term.

If you post a URL at the end of your message, it counts as a single character.

To shorten long URLs, use a service like tinyurl,com – it’s free.

You can attach photos by clickng on the photo button in the message window.

To pick up someone’s messages, click on ‘follow’ on their profile page.

You can view someone’s tweets without following them.

If you want to send a message privately, use the private message button/link.

Kif ‘jesponi bir-rispett’?

Darba smajtha li ghandek tikxef s..mok u tbaxxi rasek!

Well some milk the system, and others marry the cow.

I’m sure many others would like that guide too.
