Understanding Twitter Basics
I am much appreciated to know that my last post about twitter prompted many people to join it. So, here is another post to help you understand Twitter better.
Everyone Tab:
Although all the features of it are self explanatory, still there is one tab named ‘Everyone’, in the right sidebar, which itself doesn’t indicate for what it stands for.
The whole point of the Everyone tab is to display an unfiltered, unbiased, fresh 20-tweet “snapshot” of all (public) tweets from the entire world – to and from people you don’t know – and even in alphabets (and languages) you can’t read.
If an interesting tweet shows up, you can click sender – or recipient, if it’s an @reply – to read more of what those people tweet about. So @replies represent added value to the Everyone tab: You may see 30 different usernames in that 20-tweet, 5-second all-world snapshot.
When you want your usual filtered content (only the people you follow, the familiar language, only the right kind of @replies), return to your quieter Home tab.
Following Limits:
The security algorithms used by Twitter are very powerful. It becomes almost impossible for people to break the restrictions. By imposing restrictions and regulations, Twitter doesn’t allow spammers to survive for long.
Twitter currently applies limits to any person who reaches:
- 1,000 total updates per day, on any and all devices (web, mobile web, phone, API, etc.)
- 1,000 total direct messages per day, on any and all devices
- 100 API requests per hour
Twitter also poses a limit on the number of people you can follow. The number is different for everyone, and is based on a ratio that changes as the account changes. If you hit a follow limit, you must balance your follower/following ratio in order to follow more people- basically, you can’t follow 50,000 people if only 23 people follow you. You will always be able to follow 10% more people than are following you.

I have yet to join Twitter.
I am unable to understand most of the said technical description. I dont know when HINDI language HELP is introduced.
Ya, Twitter currently doesn’t support Hindi, and I have no idea whether they will be adding more languages or not.

I am unable to understand most of the said technical description. How it will help in getting knowledge on SEO….
Twitter helps people to interact with one another. You can find people in your niche and converse with them.
Those are some nice details in a nutshell..
