I need help! Ok...... don't agree TOO readily with that!
Twitter seems to have become a big part of BB and indeed other reality shows. Old-fashioned email seems to be dead for these purposes. I am still not 100% sure how it works. I vaguely understand how hashtags work but it is the messaging I can't get my head around. When we are asked to send tweets to @BBUK, do we simply send a tweet with @BBUK as the starting text? Or do we have to 'follow' BBUK or get BBUK to follow us or what? How can we be sure BB gets the tweet? Thanks. |

When you are sending a tweet directly to someone else, you place an @ symbol infront of their twitter username. So, for example, if BB asks you to tweet them who your favourite housemate is then you would type:
"@bbspy My favourite housemate is..." etc etc You don't have to be following them for them to receive your tweet, nor do they have to be following you. They will see your tweet appear in their "Mentions" list. |

If you want someone to see a message on Twitter then type this
@bbuk Gina should have won! And it'll appear in their 'Mentions' If you wanted to tweet someone else, just put @ and then their username with no space, followed by your message Following them just means you can see their tweets, if they follow you they can see your tweets |

Thanks guys. I just wanted to be sure that they would see my tweet without any following needed..... either way.
BB must receive thousands of tweets every day. How on earth do they keep up with them all? |

Are you new on twitter? It takes a while to get used to it.

Some celebrities have loads. Justin Bieber has 43 million followers... that's 43 million screaming girls bombarding you with tweets every second. I don't know how he copes.

If you follow "team follow back" you can gradually increase your followers. It's easy. You follow them, they follow you.

It's a system to increase your followers. You just follow them and retweet their messages.

I had a feeling there was a complication. Sounds like the best thing is for me to unlock the account... otherwise it's pretty useless for sending tweets. Cheers Matt. |
