Twitter question?
February 6, 2013 at 1:14 pm
I am new to twitter but wondering if you want to tweet everyone that you follow at the same time, is there a way to do that?

Do you mean tweet a message to all the people you follow or tweet their user names in a tweet for something like Follow Friday?

The only people who can see your tweets are the people who follow you. If the people who you follow don't follow you they can't see your tweets unless you send them a "reply" or as they call it now a "mention."

There's no way to send a mention to all of the people you follow because to send a mention you have to include their user name in the message which deducts from the 140 characters you have.

Not me, never. Who is ABBA, never heard of them?

Actually I really don't find twitter that good. I hate the character limits and navigation is a pain.

Aside from viewing your profile directly or seeing someone else retweet it, it is.
