Lecture 20 07:45 Time is a common consideration when people are considering Twitter. Some people aren't able to spread their tweets out naturally, having time only for concentrated bursts. The problem is that those bursts can overwhelm your followers.

There's a simple way to spread your tweets over time, even if you are limited in the time you have available to use Twitter. This lecture shows you how.

Lecture 21 03:45 Twitter is not immune from the problems that plague other parts of the internet, including scams and hackers. It's quite easy to protect yourself, if you know what you're protecting yourself from and how to do it.

The number of people who get into trouble, however, shows that this is something worth talking about and we do so here.

Lecture 22 04:16 We've already learned what a hashtag is.

If this is something you're going to spend time on and there are particular things you want to get from Twitter, it's important to know how to test whether it's working for you.
