Twitter Tips--Finding people with Twitter accounts

Finding people with Twitter accounts

The best way to get started is to use the Find on Twitter feature, which enables you to scour the database of tweeters for someone you know. You can search by first name, last name, or even the person’s Twitter username. 

Here’s how it works:

 1.  Sign in to your Twitter account.

 2.  Click Find People. The Find People page appears.

 3.  Click the Find on Twitter tab.

 4.  Use the text box to type the name (first or last or both) of the person you’re looking for.Using both first and last names is usually the way to go here.If that doesn’t work, use just the last name or the first name, whichever is more unique. If all you have is a partial username, you can enter that instead.

 5.  In the search results, click the person’s avatar or username to check out their profile.
