| Twitter for Bible Prophecy News |
If you are following Bible Prophecy News in these End Times here are 10 Reasons You Must Have a Twitter Account:
1. Facebook is for friends but Twitter is used by journalists
and politicians worldwide and Twitter is a tool for journalist to obtain
stories effectively, which Facebook cannot even match.
Journalists can obtain
stories with their Twitter accounts acting as a source of information depending
on who they follow. If someone is a
Bible Prophecy expert and is not active on Twitter they are behind the times. Anyone
“in the know” is on Twitter.
2. Twitter gives you information in real time as it is
happening and I tweet Bible Prophecy News sometimes minutes after it is
released by the News Wires.
This saves me a good deal of time too. I do not
have to put those links on my website, they are all in my feed as they are
happening. These include my own articles as well. I am not just tweeting news headlines, but
comments by VIP’s, Think tanks, ,blog posts, videos, reports and press
releases. A headline is only part of
it. Most of the headlines I tweet are
from the News Wires and leading sources.
3. When a news headline breaks by following it by #hashtag
you can see photos and learn information from those tweeting at the scene.
When an explosion took place in the East
Village in New York City and the news was just breaking on the wires and
details were not yet given, by #hashtag I was able to follow those who were at
the scene sending photos and video as the fire was happening and they were
providing first hand accounts and details that started to answer the question
that many of us had who tuned into the story that this was not a terrorist
attack. I recall the story of a man who
followed by many journalists at the start of the US bombing of ISIS because he
was located in a position to report on the exact targets the bombs were
hitting.
4. With Twitter I do not have to post any headlines on my
website like other Bible Prophecy experts, and I do not have to use a ticker or
RSS feed, I have imbedded my Twitter account in my webpage and it is my news
feed.
5. Twitter is so vital for all of the major news outlets
that they are imbedding Twitter feeds in their websites. This should tell
you of its importance in news.
A few examples:
Euractiv's Heard In Europe Page embeds entire feed.
CNN's Article on Nepal Earthquake embeds comments from hashtags
Judy Dempsey editor in Chief of Strategic Europe of the Think Tank Carnegie Europe embeds her twitter feed
Reuter's Breaking Views embeds entire feed
London School of Economics embeds entire feed
Yahoo News Embeds Feed in Amtrak article (example of one of many)
Euronews writes articles showcasing various tweets to support its story.

6. On Twitter I can tweak a headline if I do not like how the journalist wrote it and tailor it for my audience. Many times this is the case. I have read articles where the headline the journalist chose was weak compared with more descriptive text within the article. On one occasion I tweeted a statement within the article that pertained to my audience who follow Bible Prophecy news.
7. Twitter is social as you can retweet, reply and carry on dialogue from a tweet. The importance of social networks have literally changed public figures behavior. Celebrities and politicians, along with everyone in between in the scenes and behind the scenes has a Twitter account and tweets. If they do not tweet they lose out on gaining an audience. Yes, we also have the other networks such as Facebook, Google+ and others, but none is as dynamic as Twitter.
8. Twitter is easy to use. You set up and account and follow who you choose to follow To tweet you have 140 characters and your links are shortened. You can tweet statements that you make, quotes, photos, videos in the same way that you do on other social networks only you are limited to 140 characters. If you want to say more tweet the link to your blog, video etc.
9. Sharing is simpler than on any other social platform. With Twitter you share with great ease, because it as simple as tweet, comment and retweet.
10. For Bible Prophecy News Twitter is easier to scan and see the headlines vs any other social sites.
T This is the main reason I like Twitter and find it so dynamic. When we read online we scan for information. Unlike all of the other social networks Twitter is set up to scan. I am sure this was done by accident and was not deliberate on the part of Twitter’s designers. It is what makes Twitter stand above all other social networks.
It if my feeling that if someone takes the
time to follow me, it is a courtesy to take the time and follow back. Many people on Twitter will not keep
following you if you do not follow them back.
The old rule of thumb on Twitter was to get as many followers as
possible and to show that you do not follow many people. This was the status quo for Twitter early
on, but is my experience that Twitter is social and people prefer those who are
active on Twitter. Someone who does not
follow any followers is not active on Twitter.
I personally do not follow anyone who does not follow me back no matter
who the individual or organization is.
If it is a news outfit I will place it in a list where I do not have to
follow it.
If you do not have Twitter you will want to
sign up. You will w pick your user name, write a description and I would
advise writing a description because many are apt to follow accounts that are
active users and those who do not put a description appear inactive.
You will also want to put up a photo. This is also important so that you do not appear like an inactive user. Once you set up your account you will want to
start to follow people and you follow those you know and also put in search
terms for your interests and follow those who you would like to get tweets
from.
If you are looking to build your account of followers you will want to
follow back those who follow you. I you are using your account as an aggregator,
you can follow those whose tweets you are interested in reading. If you have several areas of interest you can
create lists and name your list and add those whose tweets you want to follow
within the list. You can also follow
the lists from sources you really like who have compiled lists in areas that
interest you. Why create a second list
if one already exists from another source.
In these end times for Bible Prophecy news, Twitter is an exciting tool and a must for end time watchers.
All politicians and those in every aspect of politics, and I am talking all governments, are all using Twitter. Never before has information been so freely accessible and can we truly get a glimpse behind the scenes, as with the internet and especially with Twitter as a tool. Twitter also allows me to deliver the information to my follower in seconds.
You can also download the Twitter app on your smartphone to tweet on the go and not miss out on any important tweets. You can tailor the notifications you wish to receive.

If you liked this information and found it informative:
I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
