Is That Really Steve On Twitter?

[Moderator]

I think you first have to sign up or be signed in for Twitter so I can't just put up a link directly to his page. Once you have an account, you can use the Search for @stephenking and that will bring up his Twitter account.

Had to laugh when I saw Joe (Hill)'s comment:

We won't discuss how it took 3 years for me to get a blue checkmark & it took @StephenKing, like, 3 hours, because I'M TOO BIG A MAN.

This makes me want to get a smart phone. I'm ridiculously behind the times!

Is there a way I can follow his messages without being a Twitt? Twittee? (Crap, do you call it that?)

I'm guessing they'd say Tweeter instead of Twit since that isn't a very complimentary term here. You don't have to actually tweet any messages to anyone--you can just follow them--but it still requires having a Twitter account--just like you'd have to have a FB account to view most pages there. Unless there's something I don't know about, but that's how I've had to do it. As with FB, you can customize your privacy settings so that it's not generally accessible.

Ummmm (this is embarrassing) can you only tweet something if you have a smartphone? (Can you not use your computer?)
I've just made an account (was feeling really brave) and it's telling me to go get an app'.. I can't get an app' without a phone, can I?

Dang - I was hoping you were telling us you made one online. Yes, I think you do have to have a smartphone. You don't either? I just don't want to spend that much money on something I constantly lose and drop, plus I'm not sure I'm smart enough to learn how to work it.

If you have a smart phone then you can get the Twitter free application and it will be posted on your homepage on your phone. However, if you have the internet on your phone you can just go to the Twitter website and post. You don't need an app to post, you can just use the internet. The app is just easier if you have a phone since it shows up on your homepage. I would love a SKMB app for my phone! Since I always ending posting from it, but I have to go to my internet browser on my phone.

See my comment above. I forgot to reply. Hope it was helpful!

No smartphone... (I'm lost here) so... (and it's really late at night so I'm practically brain dead) I'd put in a username and password--to set up an account (using my computer) and I really don't know where to go from here.
It said "we're glad you're here, to start using Twitter, go get the app." (I can't, or can I?) So, then I try to sign in... and it says that my username and/or password is invalid. Huh?

 

[VultureLvr45]

Well, I will have to be a 'twit'. Twitter for beginners... Don't have an account, but now need to look into.

I'm sorry about the Twit thing--it's not a very nice word here either... I was just being a dick.

Oh my goodness. Why does it have to get so complicated. Not you, but Twitter. Signing up for anything is such a pain! They make it so difficult even though they say it's easy. Did you check your email to confirm your account? You need to confirm your account before you start using Twitter.

No nothing in my email... I might have to come back to this tomorrow, it's very early in the morning and I'm exhausted so possibly not seeing something simple that I've missed. Thanks for your help though.

Guys, you do NOT need a smartphone... Just go here:
Twitter
And create an account

You don't need a twitter account to read his tweets. Just go to twitter.com/stephenking

You beat me to it Bev; I was just going to post the same thing. I do not have a Twitter account and I read Joe Hill's tweets all the time. You only need a Twitter account if you want to tweet.

Only if the person tweeting has an open account. You can choose to have your tweets read only by those who follow you.

Thanks Bev! I did not want to open an account but my son has one so I asked him to follow SK for me (says Neesy the Luddite)
