- The layout of every tweeter's page is roughly the same. We'll take you through a few key features of the homepage.

- @Replies: Shows tweets that were directed at you: i.e. when someone in your list says @yourusername. More on how this works in episode six of this series.

- Direct Messages: This section stores all of your private messages.

- Send a private (direct) tweet by choosing the contact you want to message from the pull-down menu and typing out your message.

- Click on the Sent tab to see messages you've sent.

Favorites: Here, you'll find tweets you've marked with a star in the regular Twitter feed.

- Starring or unstarring a tweet will add or remove it from your Favorites list.

Everyone: This is the roll of everyone around the world whose profile is public and who has recently posted a public tweet.

- In the right-hand panel, you can easily turn updates on your mobile phone on or off using the radio buttons.

- Clicking on the trashcan icon beside a tweet deletes it but only removes said tweet from your profile.
