Twitter is a social media
client, where users can
create snippets of their
thoughts and post them
to the world. Although
there are several Twitter
apps currently available for
Galaxy, the offi cial Twitter
app remains the best
choice. The app is split into
menus, enabling you to
fi nd your profi le, news feed
and your private messages.Tweeting directly
from your Galaxy
At the heart of Twitter is the
act of sending out tweets.
These are small posts that
are linked to your profi le
and can be started by tapping the What’s Happening? fi eld at the
bottom of the screen. There are no real rules to what you can post,
apart from each one must be 140 characters or less; so don’t expect
the chance to write any in-depth posts here. At the bottom of the
tweet box, you’ll also fi nd the option to add a video or image to the
tweet, so other people can watch it and share it on their profi les for
their followers to interact with. Your created tweets are then sent
to all the people that follow you, who can then interact with it and
you can interact with their tweets too. As well as simply reading
each other’s tweets, you can also retweet it on to your own page,Follow people
