Things to know about Twitter:

• It is completely free
• Text messaging on your phone is required
• If you go over your allotted texts for the month, you will obviously have to pay whatever fee your cell phone provider charges you
• There are no additional charges from twitter.com for this service
• Unlimited text through your cell phone provider is obviously the best option, but I should not update over 200 times a month for sure

How to do this: (there are two options)

• You do not want to sign up for twitter to get updates on your cell phone, but you want to see the updates we are putting up there:

1. Open this link on your computer: http://twitter.com/JCBIBB
2. You can see any updates that are sent the moment we send them

• You want updates on your cell phone:

1. Go to HYPERLINK “http://www.twitter.com” www.twitter.com
2. Hit the “Get Started Now” button on the screen and follow the steps to create an account
3. Hit “skip this step” after your create your account that way you don’t end up adding people or typing in your email password (no reason to)
4. Once you have an account, you will be on what is called your “home page”
5. Hit the SETTINGS tab at the top of the page (on the right)
6. The first tab that comes up is “Account,” fill in as much information as you want
7. Hit save, at the bottom of the page, when you are done
8. Click on “Devices” (this is where you put your phone in to get the messages)
9. Type your phone number in like this: +15739999999 (substitute your number for the 9’s I used; if you have a different area code than 573, substitute that in; the +1 is the country code)
10. Check the box that says allow twitter to update (if you don’t you won’t get any of the updates)
11. Hit Save
12. Send a text with the letters provided, no spaces and all in the exact “case” that it says to the number 40404. This validates the phone to Twitter
13. Hit refresh on your computer screen about a minute after you send this text, it should look different now
14. Make sure device updates are “ON”
15. You can opt to turn updates off during certain hours, do whatever you want here
16. You will get a text message soon saying that twitter has verified your phone
17. Now, go to FIND PEOPLE (a tab at the top of the screen)
18. When the next screen comes up, hit FIND ON TWITTER and type in JCBIBB
19. When it lists JCBIBB, click on that (its in blue)
20. Underneath the picture, click the word “Follow” and then it’ll say something like, “You are now following JCBIBB”
21. Where it says, “Device updates off,” click that
22. It will bring up a screen and you need to turn them ON
23. It will now say that you are receiving updates via SMS (text) for JCBIBB
24. You will now receive a text for anything I send to twitter on your phone
25. If at anytime you want to turn updates off, just hit “Device updates on” for JCBIBB and just turn them off

That’s it your all done.
