a logical timeline

Comments, mentions and entertainment in one place

Twitter has evolved over time to become, for many people, a one-stop resource for catching up on the latest news, conversing with friends and just generally

finding out new things. The app helps to bring all of this together to make the entire experience work exactly as it should.

Account avatar

You need to consider every part of your profile and one essential aspect is your avatar. Every tweet you publish will display your avatar and over time people will become familiar with it. Try to make it interesting, but not too brash so as to dominate your content.

Moving pictures

Media is becoming more important in the Twitter universe and GIFS and videos will auto-play within the timeline to draw your attention to them. Cleverly, they still do not dominate the experience and allow the words and comments to shine through. They exist with each other in equilibrium.

Using hashtags

You will gain more mentions through using hashtags in the right way. The more mentions you get, the more likely you are to grow your follower numbers and at the heart of it all is hashtags. Don’t underestimate how powerful they are on Twitter.

Tweak settings

The ability to customise Twitter to the way you want it to work is impressive in its ease of use and the flexibility available to you. Everything from font sizing to the overall look can be tweaked so spend some time making the environment suit your exact needs.
