Ok guys I have spoke with some of you all about setting this up and it seemed like there were no negative responses, so I really wanna get this going.
NOTE: The purpose of using Twinkle / Twitter is NOT to replace the forums. Only to be an easy way for all of us to stay connected, get parties going, etc. when we do not have access to the Forums.
I posted these in the Update thread but in case you missed it here are the instructions for getting set up.
Here are step by step instructions for downloading / setting up your Twitter account / Twinkle.app
1. Go to twitter.com and create an account (keep page open b/c you will use this site for managing your friends and profile, etc..)
>if you use Twitter instead just download the Twitter.app and you are done. (i personally like Twinkle better though)
2. Go to Application Store on iTunes and search Twinkle.app > download it.
3. Open Twinkle and go to the "Gear" (Settings) icon.
4. Click the Identity box.
5. Create a Tapulous Account (no computer required just fill out the box there, I just used my Twitter log in info, but I do not think it matters.)
6. Under the Twitter box (still in the Identity tab) move the slider to the ON position.
7. Click the slider box and now you should see a Twitter screen. This is where you enter your ACTUAL Twitter account info that you created in step 1. SAVE.
8. Now you are all set.
NEW:
9. For Adding Friends go back to the Twitter page in your internet browser.
10. Log In and find the "Search" box located at the top of the page.
(this is where you will add all of your friends)
11. Type in your friend's Screen Name - ie. Cooleyo57 (mine) and press search.
12. To add them as a friend click the "Follow" button. (they must approve your "Follow" request in order for you to become connected with them, ie. see their posts, "pings" for Twinkle, and "tweets" for Twitter.
Done.
