Twitter on the Go

Twitter offers users and brands a variety of engaging ways to connect on mobile.

Fast Follow

People can follow an account from a phone without creating a Twitter account. For example, users can text 'Follow Twitter' to 40404 and receive Tweets from @twitter sent to their phone. This is a simple way for people to get information they care about in real-time. Promote this feature in a storefront window or a website to stay engaged with your customers, regardless of whether or not they are on Twitter.

Notifications

Twitter users can elect to receive text message updates when your account tweets. Mobile notifications can be a great way to promote exclusive content, coupons and events. If someone has signed up to be notified of your Tweets, they'll get it as an SMS message whenever you tweet.

Pro Tip: Tell customers they can receive your company’s Tweets on their phone by going to to your profile page, clicking on the profile icon next to the blue Following button and selecting Turn on SMS Tweets from the drop-down menu.

Tweet from anywhere

Tweeting on the go will help you stay connected to your followers wherever you are. Twitter offers official apps for the Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, and Blackberry phones. There are also numerous applications to help you upload pictures and video, such as TwitPic, YFrog, Plixi, Flickr, and YouTube.

Target your message

Brands can refine the reach of their Promoted Tweet campaigns by targeting users with platform-specific messages across Twitter.com, iOS, Android, BlackBerry and other mobile devices. This means that, even on the go, Twitter users can receive Promoted Tweets in their timelines with deals, discounts, news and information from relevant brands.
