How To Link Directly To A Twitter Status Update

If you’re new here, please consider subscribing to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! If you are looking for exposure during the holiday rush, considering purchasing a Top Spot on our sidebar! Thanks for visiting!

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying the giveaways. We’re not even halfway done yet, so stay tuned for lots more!

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

First, make sure you’re logged in and on the “Home” page of Twitter. On the right, click on “updates”. 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!

Share this post or bookmark it for later!
