P.S. If you wish, you can look at articles on the blog about working on the social network Twitter,

Today I want to talk about such a popular phenomenon as Twitter. For webmasters, this social network can help attract additional visitors to your site, as well as other social networks. For example, such as, and, as well as Twitter can serve as a kind of analogue.

For example, as far as I know, many visitors to my blog site follow its updates through this microblogging service. But in order for this to work as it should, you will need to understand what Twitter is, how to register with it and how to use it.

By the way, recently the registration form and interface of this service have been completely translated into Russian, which is good news. True, when this article was written, this social network was not yet friendly with the Russian language, so I had to rewrite and add something.

What is Twitter and how to use it?

So, what is Twitter? First of all, it is a service designed for communication. It has replaced (or in addition to) the tired traditional social networks, and its audience is growing like a snowball. Now, it is probably difficult to meet a person who has never heard of it or similar microblogging services (FriendFeed, etc.).

However, for many, the essence of these services remains unclear and therefore it is worth answering the question “What is Twitter” in a little more detail. In this series of articles, I will try to talk in detail about how to register in it (now in Russian), how to work with it, how to gain subscribers (followers), how to automatically post the titles of new materials on your site into it (this will be) .

Twitter was created in 2006, and by the beginning of 2007 it had already gained sufficient popularity. It is sometimes characterized as microblogging due to the fact that the size of the message left in it is limited to 140 characters. Due to this limitation, Twitter messages using special services look something like this: http://bit.ly/4J2b1R.

Due to the short length of messages, communication via it is very convenient from a mobile phone. Actually, Twitter was designed for this, because... it has a limit of 140 characters per message, and in a mobile phone, as you know, the limit is 160 characters (in SMS messages). The remaining 20 characters can be used for the sender's name.

But to do this, you will have to provide your login and password to access your Email. My main mailbox is located on Gmail, but somehow I didn’t dare to transfer its password to Twitter.

If you decide to take this step, then, apparently, based on your address book, all users from it who also have an account in this microblogging service will be found. Well, you can add them to your friends.

In the time since this article was written, Twitter has not only begun to support the Russian language, but has acquired a new interface. Therefore, immediately after successful registration, you will be taken to a page at the very top of which there will be icons for your next steps.

The step described in the previous paragraph is now called “Friends” and is numbered 3:

The new interface has a new step that opens after registration - “Interests”. On this tab you can tell us which topics are interesting to you. By opening one of the proposed topics, you will see the feeds available in it.

To subscribe to them you will only need to click on the button "Read" located nearby. As a result, the button will change its appearance and the inscription “Reading” will appear on it:

How to change the background for Twitter?

By default, your profile background will be blue, but you can change it, as well as the color of the panels, font color and links on your page at your discretion. For example, my Twitter looks like So.

You can also see what the interface of this service looked like before. To do this, you will need to select the “To old Twitter” option from the drop-down list next to your “Username” (located in the upper right corner):

To customize the design of your page, select the “Settings” item from the top menu (see screenshot above), and in the window that opens, select the “Design” item.

To customize the background of your Twitter page, you can use the options provided by simply clicking on them. If none of the proposed backgrounds are to your liking, then you can use your graphic file as a .

To do this, click on the “Change background image” button under the background thumbnails, click on the “Select file” button and find the desired graphic file on your computer.

By clicking on the “Change design colors” button in the Twitter settings on the right under the thumbnails, you will be able to:

1. fill the background with one color, which you can select by clicking on the square labeled “background”
2. set the text color on your account pages by clicking on the square labeled “text”
3. select a color for all links by clicking on the square labeled “links”
4. You can select the background color and border color for the right sidebar on your Twitter webpage by clicking on the “bar” and “border” squares, respectively.

After you finish doing aesthetic delights, do not forget to save the changes by clicking on the appropriate button at the very bottom. I didn’t notice it at first and, as a result, I had to set up the background and design of my Twitter account all over again. In the same settings window, on the “Profile” tab, you can attach an avatar by selecting the desired picture in the “Image” area.

Select “Profile” from the top settings menu. Here you can make changes to your existing profile data, and I also recommend adding the address of your web project to the “More Info URL” field. Remarkably, he will.

But lately, search engines may still take into account, to one degree or another, backlinks from this microblogging service, which has .

How to use Twitter (now in Russian)?

By selecting the “Notifications” item from the top settings menu, you can configure: about what events you will be sent messages by email, for example, when someone subscribes to your feed (follows you). Directly from the sent letter, you can go to this person’s web page by clicking on his name:

After reading the content of his messages, you can decide whether to subscribe or not subscribe to his Twitter feed. To subscribe you will need to click on the button "Read"(in the English version of the interface - “Follow”, which is where the terms follow, follow or follower come from) in the upper part of the window:

Subscribing to messages from a user or, in other words, “Following” someone on Twitter (Follow) means adding someone to your contact list. This is what we just did by clicking on the “Follow” button.

But that user won't be able to see your news until they add you to their contact list. The easiest way to create a list of contacts on Twitter is to add people with similar interests. You will add them, and they will add you.

To do this, you can use Twitter search - http://search.twitter.com/. Enter your interests in the search bar and as a result you will receive a huge list of inhabitants of this service who are interested in the same thing. Requests, of course, can be entered in Russian too.

As soon as you add people to your contact list, their messages will appear in your feed. To get into your news feed you just need to go to TWITTER.COM, click on the “Login” link at the very top of the window and enter your username and password specified during registration.

If the browser remembers your login and password, then after going to the above address you will immediately be taken to the news feed with messages from those Twitter users you follow.

If you don’t like the posts of a user and you don’t want to read them anymore, you can unsubscribe from receiving messages from this user by going to his page (feed). To do this, you will need to click either on his name or on his avatar in the message. On his Twitter page, hover your mouse over the “Following” button, which will change to "Cancel", and click on it:

There are a few other little buttons there that will help you receive messages from that user on your cell phone, etc. You can write your message on Twitter in the form provided at the very top home page with an inscription "What's happening?". When you start typing a message, you will see the number of characters that can still be typed to the bottom right of this form. In, but for this you will always have to have them at hand, because you will not find a built-in tooltip like VKontakte in this social network.

To reply to an existing message on Twitter, simply move your mouse cursor over it and click on the inscription that appears at the bottom of the message "Answer"(in English - “Reply”).

After this, the name of the user whose message you are going to write a reply to will automatically be added to the reply form, and this name will be preceded by an @ sign, meaning that this is, in fact, a reply.

Often messages are read through specialized programs, and not through an Internet browser. There are quite a lot of such programs. Can send private messages via Twitter, which will not be seen by other users. To do this, the recipient must follow you, then you can on his web page, by analogy with the unsubscribe method discussed just above, click on the arrow next to the button resembling a sun and select “Direct message username” from the drop-down list.

To summarize, we can make a generalization and say that Twitter is a service that is an explosive mixture of a blog and ICQ. But still, this is not really a blog. It is a means of communication and obtaining information. With it, you can meet people you are interested in, even if you are not added to each other’s contact list.

If the person you want is not subscribed to your updates, you can still reply to their messages by simply pasting them into the reply form name with @ sign in front. As a result, he will notice you and you will be able to finish using any form convenient for you (icq, etc.).

Well, besides this, of course, Twitter can bring visitors to your site in an amount proportional to the number of your followers if, for example, you set up automatic posting of the headlines of your new materials. But I’ll tell you about this and that and setting up posting there the titles of new articles from your website in the next article.

By the way, Twitter developers recently launched another social project, albeit one aimed at users of mobile gadgets - . It is now rapidly gaining popularity, so I advise you to read the article linked to it in order to, so to speak, keep up with life...

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site
