The largest pic size for twitter is 700k, and they support JPG, GIF, and PNG formats. The photo will be reduced to 78 pixels square for your main page, and 48 pixels square for use in the timeline.

There are two ways to reply/tweet to people directly, 'private' and 'private-plus-friends':

  1. Type "d USERNAME" before your tweet to send a direct message to a particular user. Only that user will see the message.
  2. Put "@USERNAME" at the beginning of your tweet to send a reply to a particular user. That user, your followers and that user's followers will all be able to see the tweet, but it won't appear on the public timeline.
You may receive error messages with the whale picture, but this is generally uncommon.

I hope that helps.

You can find the step-by-step instructions on the twitter help website. Basically, you just need to include "@username" in your tweet to send a tweet to someone.

If they are following you, you can also send a direct message which is private.

How do you tweet on someones profile

Twitter is slightly different to Facebook and works on a system of timelines. Unlike Facebook were you can freely post on someone's profile, on Twitter to do this you must ask them to ReTweet your tweet. However, you can give direct messages to or send tweets towards them by using the @username replacing the word username with the person whom you wan't to talk to.

How do you tweet

There are two ways to tweet people directly, 'private' and 'private-plus-friends':

  1. Log in to Twitter via the Twitter Home Page, or via API. You can also update Twitter via Facebook and several other applications that use the Twitter API.
  2. Enter your message in the box with the label "What are you doing?" Keep in mind that your tweet can be no longer than 140 characters at the most. This limitation exists because Twitter uses the SMS network to send notifications via cell phone to those who desire it.
You may receive error messages with the whale picture, but this is generally uncommon.

I hope that helps.

May i ask about twitter if i reply someone on his tweets did he read or received my message even though he is not following me.?help me on this tnx

Provided you don't get stuck with the Twitter Is Over Capacity Whale that I've been seeing lately, there are two ways to reply/tweet to people directly, 'private' and 'private-plus-friends':

  1. Type "d USERNAME" before your tweet to send a direct message to a particular user. Only that user will see the message.
  2. Put "@USERNAME" at the beginning of your tweet to send a reply to a particular user. That user, your followers and that user's followers will all be able to see the tweet, but it won't appear on the public timeline.
When you send that message with D or @, then the user will get our message even if you are not being followed.

I hope that helps.
