Twitter masterclass: Learning the basics

Ready to go

Let's take a look at the standard profile page. At the top right you'll see 'home', which takes you to a feed showing tweets from all the people you follow, in simple list order. You can favourite these by clicking on the star to the right of each tweet, or click on the arrow underneath to reply to a tweet. We'll consider replies in part two.

Next to that is 'profile', which takes you to your feed. Under that you'll see the information you entered about yourself.

Beneath that you can see how many people you follow, and how many follow you, along with the number of times you've tweeted. Then there's links to see replies people have sent you, and the tweets you've starred as favourites.
