10 uber-useful features of Twitter you probably don't know about (or use).
++THREAD++
1. Advanced search.
Search based on topic, popular tweets, hashtags, minimum replies, date ranges, etc.
Advanced search interface: twitter.com/search-advanced.
For instance, my most popular tweets, use this search term: (from:SteveOnSpeed) min_faves:500.
2. Tweet analytics.
Use Twitter's built-in analytics system to find top-performing tweets.
Go to: analytics.twitter.com
Click on 'Tweets' at the top
Click 'Top Tweets' on the next page
GOLD.
3. Tweet-specific performance.
Want to know how many people viewed your profile *from a specific tweet*? Or, just how well a tweet did?
It's easy.
From Desktop, click the three dots at the top right. Then, 'View Tweet Analytics'.
Click 'View All Engagements'.
4. Schedule a tweet straight from Twitter.
Write your tweet. Then, click the calendar icon.
Choose when you'd like Twitter to send your tweet.
Click Confirm, then click the 'Schedule' button.
5. Change theme colors.
I like black and green as my Twitter interface.
On Desktop, click More on the left, then Display.
On Mobile, click the hamburger (three vertical lines), then 'Display and sound'.
Next, customize your colors as you like.
6. Switch to chronological feed.
By default, Twitter shows top tweets on your timeline. If you'd rather see tweets as they are posted (chronological), you can change it.
Click the Star in the upper right of the Twitter homepage.
Switch to latest Tweets.
7. Mute words.
Let's face it: Some content you don't want to see (Vaccine! Covid! etc).
Twitter lets you mute words to keep your timeline clean.
Settings > Privacy and Safety > Mute and block.
Click the Plus sign on Desktop or 'Add' on Mobile.
8. Bookmark great tweets.
Bookmarking is a great way to save tweets that inspire and motivate you.
To bookmark a tweet, click the 'Share' button underneath a tweet.
Then, click 'Bookmark' on Mobile, or 'Add Tweet to Bookmark' on Desktop.
Access Bookmarks from the menu.
9. Lists.
Lists are a GREAT way to organize content based on topic (or anything).
Click 'Lists' from the menu.
On Desktop, click 'New List' on the top right.
On Mobile, click 'New List' button.
Have fun.
10. Pin a tweet to your profile.
Pinning a successful tweet to your profile is a great way to highlight your best-performing tweets.
From Desktop, click the three dots at the top right.
Then, click 'Pin to your profile'.
Hint: Change your pinned tweet regularly.
