Getting Started With Twitter
- First, you will need a Twitter Account Sign up for a free Twitter account. Do NOT make your account protected (or private). Leave it accessible so others can see your tweets.
2. Feel your way around Twitter a bit: Follow a few people. You can follow us at @canadianfree. Send a few tweets, see how your timeline updates with new posts once you start to follow friends and other companies.
3. Find a Party. This is the hard part! Especially for us Canadians. Try searching Twitter itself.
Search “Twitter Party”
I have asked Party hosts of USA ones, and sometimes Canadians can play and win, and sometimes you can play and Not win, so when in doubt, just ask the hosts if it’s not clear on the rules
Note: You may have to RSVP – The host of the party will provide this information
4. Follow the Party Hosts. If you find a party to attend and click on the party link, you will see a list of the host(s) for that particular party. It’s a good idea to follow them beforehand so that you can learn about any updates to that party.
5. Follow the Party Hashtag. The hashtag is the key to the Twitter party. Think of it as a keyword phrase). It distinguishes itself from other words,

It might take attending a party or two to get the hang of Twitter parties.
The more people that participate, the more hectic it will be.
- Don’t worry about trying to keep up!
