How to Make a Single Tweet Public
A "tweet" is the term to describe a status update on the Twitter social networking service. Unlike Facebook and Google+, Twitter does not have a bevvy of privacy options and tweaks. Tweets are either public to the Internet or private to a select grouping of "followers" (friends on the service). If your Twitter account is protected and you wish to tweet publicly, you can temporarily switch your privacy settings. The option is always reversible.
