Technical Help

Twitter is a free micro-blogging service made up of 140 character or less messages called tweets.

Once you create a twitter account, you can follow other twitter users who tweet about what's important to you. Tweets from users you follow will automatically be delivered to you on twitter.com or to your smart phone with the official twitter mobile app.

For more information, see Twitter 101 and be sure to follow @GuideStone and @OSHawkins
