Profiles/Timelines, Search by Name, Favorites
What's the differences among timelines, search by name, and favorites?
- A timeline (i.e. mini-feed on Facebook) is one-way, your tweets to followers.
- See your timeline by clicking profile or updates.
- Access timelines by clicking any @username on the main page.
- Searching a name creates a two-way stream, i.e. the person's tweets and responses from others. Like a party, if you see a person and an interesting group, listen in and join the conversation.
- NEW: Instead of clicking on user profiles, try searching on names to see the two-way conversation.
- A search can be saved - to keep track of favorite personalities and subjects.
- Favorites can become a filtered, two-way stream - skipping spam and off topic replies.
- Click the star to the right of messages to add to your favorites.
- Visit a person's timeline and click favorites to see their filtered stream.
A Simple Approach
Accessing Twitter.com is a simple experience—you sign in and read the updates from the accounts you have chosen to follow. If you’ve been using Twitter for a while, you’ve probably curated an interesting collection of updates from friends, family, co-workers, businesses, media organizations, and maybe even a favorite celebrity. With the addition of search, you can ask Twitter to build you a fresh timeline of updates based on a keyword or phrase. It’s a whole new experience with a familiar look and feel.
Saving Your Searches
If you find yourself searching for the same word or phrase on a regular basis, then you’ll probably like using “save this search” which, when clicked, will place those keywords as links into your home page just under the search box. This gives you one-click access to your favorite searches. To remove the saved search links, click the word again and notice the new option to, “Remove this saved search.” We’ve also added an option to collapse your list of saved searches as well as the icons of the accounts you are following for a cleaner view.
