It's frustrating that this hypothetical means you can't fix your typos, I'll admit. That would be upsetting, right? Now imagine that, except there are world leaders doing it. Now imagine a world where I have an edit button, and I make my Tweet say "I love cats." You've now endorsed my love of cats, whether you intended to or not. This is a very normal and good interaction. Imagine if I Tweeted "I love dogs," and you Retweeted it. If I had to guess, though, Twitter doesn't offer an edit button because of how easy it would be to abuse the feature. Why can't I edit Tweets I've already published? You can delete them, but you can't edit them.
PRANK ME NOT TWITTER HOW TO
How to edit Tweets you've already published If not, close the document and walk away.Ĭongratulations: you've edited your Tweets. Think to yourself: is this statement that you wrote the thing you want attached to your name for the rest of eternity? Because it might be. The worse your Tweet is, the more likely it is this will happen. Remember: there is a non-zero chance your Tweet will be seen by millions of people, and that you will be Twitter's main character for the day. Delete the Tweets that aren't helpful or interesting or good. When you get home, open up your text document, spreadsheet, or parchment, and make any changes that are necessary. Consider turning around and heading back to your house. Think about the birds, then think about your Tweets some more (if necessary). There are birds everywhere, but most of us don't think about them very often. Notice how the air feels, and maybe spend some time just listening. Think about these questions, and other questions, while you walk. Are these Tweets.good? Are you using the platform you have, such as it is, to make the world a better place? Will the things you say give people delight, prompt them to think more complexly, or otherwise just make them feel less alone in a world seemingly designed to make us all feel isolated? Or are you just yelling into the void in an attempt to win internet points and maybe get a dopamine hit?
