Are you new to Twitter? If yes, then you have come to the right place. Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms in Indonesia. If you don’t have an account yet and want to create one, our site provides a step-by-step guide to help you create a new Twitter account.
Step 1: Open the Twitter website and fill in the registration form, which is located on the bottom right of the page. Enter your name, email address, and password. Once done, click the “Sign up for Twitter” button. If you do not have an email address, learn how to create a Gmail email account here, or a Yahoo Mail account here.
Step 2: On the next page, you need to choose a username that is preferably short so that it does not take up too many characters when composing a tweet. Twitter only allows users to write up to 140 characters per tweet. Once you have decided on a username, click “Create my account.”
Step 3: You will then be introduced to various Twitter features. To start, you need to follow at least five other Twitter accounts. You will also be prompted to follow other Twitter accounts from various categories. Additionally, you can search for friends who have joined Twitter using your email contacts. If you want to skip this step, click the “Skip” button located on the bottom left.
Step 4: Upload a profile photo with a maximum size of 700 kb. Fill in your Bio, which should describe yourself briefly, such as your job and hobbies, among other things.
Step 5: Verify your email by opening the email sent by Twitter to your email address. Click the “Confirm your account now” button or the link provided below it.
Step 6: Congratulations! Your new Twitter account has been successfully created. The steps above are not much different if you register for a new Twitter account using your mobile device. You can now start interacting with your old friends or new friends on Twitter. You can also customize the appearance as well as various other settings in the settings menu.
Aside from using it directly on the website for desktop or mobile versions, Twitter is also typically used with specialized client applications such as Tweetcaster, Tweetdeck, Ubersocial, and others. If you are not familiar with Twitter terminology, here are some explanations:
Tweet: A tweet is the primary element of Twitter that you can use for status updates, just like on Facebook. You can also reply to tweets from other users, and many other things. The number of characters allowed for each tweet is limited to a maximum of 140 characters.
Retweet: This is a way to share other people’s tweets on your timeline. There are two types of retweets. The first is a direct retweet without commenting. This type of retweet can only be used for tweets from non-protected Twitter accounts. The second type is a retweet with a comment. It includes “RT” at the front of the tweet you want to retweet. Unfortunately, this retweet feature is only available on Twitter client applications such as Tweetdeck, Tweetcaster, and others.
In conclusion, making a Twitter account is easy and straightforward. All you need is an email address and a password. Follow the step-by-step guide outlined above and start tweeting today!
