Twitter help

Hi Guys,

absolutely do not want to get into the pro's and con's of the recent advertising campaign using Twitter to give away codes but......

I am an absolute newb as far as Twitter is concerned and only got my account up and running with fantastic advice from Thirty Seven (thanks again mate ).

I am following one lump only, CoH!

So I check my Twitter page and see I am getting tweets (?) from other games like Guild Wars 2 and suchlike and others from individuals with general chat about CoH. Is this because the CoH follow also includes them or what? I have absolutely no interest in anything other than CoH so am wondering where/why they are coming.

Also how do I delete individual "Tweet" messages? Can't work that out at all.
Thanks

Quite likely, @CityofHeroes is retweeting something. Toward the bottom of the post, does it say "retweeted by City of Heroes" in grey?

To my knowledge, there is no way to delete tweets that you did not post yourself. I don't think you can remove individual tweets from your feeds. I believe there was once a way to not see retweets, but either I am imagining that, I cannot find it, or they removed the functionality.




Thank you, Champion.

If you're on Twitter because you actually want to follow CoH and see what they have to say, go nuts.

If your sole reason for being on Twitter is the promotions, don't stress yourself over learning how to use it: Hit Streak said that this week will be the final Twitter Thursday, at least until they get better tools to offer the promotions with.

Hi Guys,

thanks for the info. It has been of real help to me.

I did only start it to participate in the code thing and I did miss the message from Heat Streak.

I will close the thing down now and be rid of it till they let us know details of the new methods.

However I am interested in all things technological and have actually enjoyed learning about the "Twitter" phenomena and it's inner workings, so am pleased it happened.

Thanks again, appreciated
