With Twitter maybe you want your tweets to be protected? For me it seems that there are many stalkers online so one way to keep your twitter account safe is to protect your tweets. This is easy and free to do.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a twitter account
  • time to make your tweets protected
  • a want to keep tweets private.
  1. Step 1

    Log into your twitter account as you normally would. Once logged in look at the top right hand side and you will see the word Settings click that. This will show several options however you want to view where it states account so make sure you are there in order to move further in the twitter profile settings.

  2. Step 2

    Look at the settings options and all the way at the bottom of your twitter settings you will see these words. Protect My Tweets. Check mark that and it will ask you if this is what you want, say yes or ok.

  3. Step 3

    Now all your tweets after you check mark this will be protected and only seen by people you approve, however please keep this in mind that any tweets that you did before this can be seen. You can change this option at anytime in the future if you want others to see any tweets that you do. Finished now your future tweets will be protected.

on 11/17/2009 Great information about protecting your tweets, I think some people put too much personal information about themselves on the internet for anyone to see. This will help avoid that a little bit. 5* and recommend.
