X (Twitter) is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. By watching the X tutorial above, users will learn how to design an X profile, compose tweets, use hashtags and find other users and topics to follow.
Users on X tend to keep their profile public and often use X to comment on breaking news and current events. Users can, however, choose to only display tweets to users that they follow. The video tutorial shows users how to create both public and private X accounts.
For businesses, X is great way to interact with customers and potential customers. Organizations can gauge customer satisfaction, gain ideas for new products and services and keep tabs on the competition.
In the early days of X, when it was still Twitter, it was famous for only allowing 140 characters or less for each tweet. Currently, X allows 280 characters which is plenty of space for users to share their thoughts and ideas.
The simplicity of X combined with versatility of content users can post provides for a unique and rewarding social experience. Rich media, such as images and videos look great when shared on Twitter.
The video tutorial above is intended for beginner and expert X users and covers all of the primary features of using X.
