How To Link Directly To A Twitter Status Update (Tweet)

I just wanted to write a quick post on how to link directly to a Twitter status update (a.k.a. a tweet) since I’m getting quite a few people wondering how to do so when entering our giveaways. So here’s how:

First, make sure you’re logged in and on the “Home” page of Twitter. On the right, click on the word “tweets” right up under your Twitter username. Locate the tweet you’d like to link to, and find where it shows how long ago the tweet was tweeted (ex: “about 2 hours ago”). Click that and you should be taken to a page that displays only that specific tweet. Copy the url in the address bar, and paste it where ever you want to link directly to that tweet.

That’s it! Hopefully this helps those of you who were confused on how to do this!
