How to Link to Twitter

The social networking site Twitter allows you to link to individual posts that a person has made, called "Tweets." As opposed to linking to a person's profile and then forcing someone to search for the tweet in question, you can simply link to that one particular tweet and be done with it. Linking to a person's individual tweets can be done from the profile page of the person you're attempting to link to.

Instructions

1. Open your Web browser.

2. Go to the profile page of the person you're trying to link to. The URL of a Twitter profile page will be (without quotes) "www.twitter.com/username". Replace "username" with the username of a Twitter user.

3. Click on the date beneath the tweet you want to link to. Every tweet will have a date beneath it indicating exactly when that tweet was posted. Clicking the date will take you to a page featuring only that one particular tweet.

4. Copy the URL of the page now on screen. This is the URL of that particular message, and it can be used to create links to it.
