How do I tweet on Twitter?

I have a twitter account I don't really know how to use and if for example my friend (just making up a name) Kelsey Green has a twitter page how would I ask a question on her twitter, how would I do that? How would I send her a message or tweet on her page? 2001:569:7D9A:1300:91EE:6F35:ACCF:8691 (talk) 04:12, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Normally all tweets are public, but nobody is likely to notice your tweet unless 1) they follow you, or 2) you name an account (with @) in which case they will get a notification, or 3) you include a hashtag (with #), in which case anybody searching for that hashtag will see it. There is a "direct message" option, but I can't tell you about it because I've never used it. There is no such thing as "tweet on somebody's page".

Your friend may have clicked "only people I follow may send me direct messages". (I think that's the default.) In that case, if your friend does not know about your Twitter account, you cannot get through to her that way. —Tamfang (talk) 02:39, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
