Yes, Twitter is a fairly safe website. It wouldn't be so popular if it was dangerous. However, many posts contain links to other websites that Twitter does not operate. They could possibly be dangerous, so be careful on what links you click on.

What does 'WW' mean on Twitter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'Woof Wednesday' It is similar to 'Follow Friday' but instead of recommending people they follow, they recommend their pet's twitter account.

Alternatively it might mean Writers Wednesday since most people using it seem to do so to share the names of people who write. No reason you can't use it share the twitter acc of your favourite writing dogs too though!

What does mention a person mean in Twitter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the official Twitter Help Center a mention is "any Twitter update that contains "@username" anywhere in the body of the Tweet".

Users will often see hundreds or thousands of tweets a day in their Twitter feed. Mentioning a user in your tweet means they will be able to see it in their "@ Connect" section on the top of the Twitter page.

You would usually mention a user if you are directing the Twitter update (tweet) to that specific user OR you want them in particular to see this tweet.

If you include more than one @username in your tweet, all of those users will see the Tweet in their "@ Connect" section.

How do you add twitter icon to website?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can find a quick wizard on twitter's site to add a twitter widget onto Myspace, facebook, blogger, Typepad or just a regular HTML/Flash widget (see related links below).

If you want to show a twitter button so people will share your page through their status updates on twitter you can use services like Pagecodes.net or AddThis.com

You can also find many twitter plugins for wordpress and probably other blogging platforms. There have different design styles and functionality. Choose one that works for you the most(systematically and appearance-wise).


If you don't want to put that much effort you can always just show an image/icon associated with twitter and have it link to your twitter profile page.

There are some great sites to copy and paste the code for a twitter button - try www.pagecodes.net for starters - those creative geniuses among you can design your own image and apply it to the code.

How many followers can you have on Twitter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm pretty sure there isn't a limit because some celebrities are following over 100 000 people. But if you follow many people at once (I'm not sure what the hourly limit is) you will have to wait an hour until you can follow any more.

What are the differences between Facebook and Twitter?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Facebook and Twitter are both forms of social networking. Facebook was very popular for college students and is now popular for many age groups. Facebook allows you to develop a network of friends where you can share your thoughts, notes, pictures, videos, etc. Facebook also has many applications that you can use to do various things, including keep up with your friends birthdays, send birthday cards, complete quizzes and play games.

Twitter can interface with Facebook, but it uses a 140 character limit message function, called a "tweet". Twitter users follow other Twitter users and receive their "tweets". Twitter users can use applications or browser add-ons to send and receive tweets.

What is Twitter purpose?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read each others' updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free over the Internet, but using SMS may incur phone service provider fees. Since its creation in 2006 by Jack Dorsey, Twitter has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It is sometimes described as the "SMS of the Internet",[2] as it provides the functionality-via its application programming interface (API)-for other desktop and web-based applications to send and receive short text messages, often obscuring the Twitter service itself. Through SMS, users can communicate with Twitter through five gateway numbers: short codes for the United States, Canada, India, New Zealand, and an Isle of Man-based number for international use. There is also a short code in the United Kingdom which is only accessible to those in the Vodafone network.[3] Alexa ranks the site 27th in terms of web traffic.[4] Estimates of the number of daily users vary, because the company does not release the number of active accounts. However, a February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network,[5] which puts the number of unique monthly visitors at roughly 6 million and the number of monthly visits at 55 million;[5] however, only 40% of users are retained.[6] In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a monthly growth of 1382%, Zimbio of 240%, followed by Facebook with an increase of 228%.[7]
