Twitter is undeniably the hottest social media app. With millions of users, it has been the best app for sharing ideas, thoughts, and opinions. It’s like an online diary, and tweets help you get things out of your head!
Sure, it’s fun when people “like”, retweet, and reply to your tweets. The feeling of being heard is important, but it doesn’t mean that it’s always safe. If you’re not comfortable with strangers getting inside your head, you can actually protect your tweets! Set your Twitter account to private and express more freely!
