X (Formerly known as Twitter)

Twitter—rebranded as X—is a social media platform designed for sharing short, impactful messages called tweets. It’s a place where people post thoughts, news, jokes, opinions, and more in real time.

• Tweets are limited to 280 characters

• You can include images, videos, GIFs, and links

• Hashtags (like #MondayMotivation) help make your posts discoverable

• You can follow others to see their tweets in your feed

• Interactions include likes, retweets, and replies

1. Create an account at twitter.com or download the X app

2. Tap the “What’s happening?” box or the plus icon

3. Type your message (keep it under 280 characters)

4. Add optional media: image, video, GIF, or link

5. Use hashtags to reach a wider audience

6. Hit Tweet to publish it

You can also:

• Retweet someone else’s post to share it with your followers

• Reply to tweets to join conversations

• Send Direct Messages for private chats

Tip: Use relevant hashtags (#). Hashtags are invaluable within Twitter. Many pages have grown thanks to the correct use of hashtags. But how do you use hashtags to reach more people and create a stronger page? These should relate to the content of your message. Also, look at which hashtags are trending. If your post has something to do with one of these trending hashtags, be sure to add it!
