Twitter Home Page vs. Profile Page
Sometimes the simplest of things can appear more complicated. That is what I find happens when clients start using twitter, especially when you begin directly on twitter which is what I recommend. I start clients off this way because then they develop clear understanding of how Twitter works and how others view what you post.
The Home page and Profile page difference is usually the first lesson. Your twitter homepage is what you see when you sign into Twitter – it shows all the updates from the people you follow.
The profile page (seen here to your left) is “All about YOU” This is where you find all your own updates and information and when other users click on your twitter username this is what they see – your profile.
The confusion appears when clients ask “Where is my tweet that I just did?” Well, if you follow many people the homepage will change and update with all the new posts from those you follow. Your own updates will get pushed farther down the list.
If you are looking to check what you posted, then it is found on your profile page.
Home = All your connections
Profile = You Only
Thanks, really helped. Why can’t I see my tweet on someone elese page? Like Dr. Phil?
Hi CC, Glad it was helpful. In order to see your tweet on someone else’s page you would have to have send an @reply to that person using their username. In order to find it you would look under your profile page and scroll to that date you posted this.
