There’s more to Twitter than OFF and ON! Use the commands below to send private messages, mark updates as favorites, or even remind someone to update their Twitter page if you’re wondering what they’re doing!
  • @username + message
    directs a twitter at another person, and causes your twitter to save in their “replies” tab.
    Example: @meangrape I love that song too!
  • D username + message
    sends a person a private message that goes to their device, and saves in their web archive.
    Example: d krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you’re there?
  • WHOIS username
    retrieves the profile information for any public user on Twitter.
    Example: whois jack
  • GET username
    retrieves the latest Twitter update posted by the person.
    Example: get goldman
  • NUDGE username
    reminds a friend to update by asking what they’re doing on your behalf.
    Example: nudge biz
  • FAV username
    marks a person’s last twitter as a favorite. (hint: reply to any update with FAV to mark it as a favorite if you’re receiving it in real time)
    Example: fav al3x
  • STATS this command returns your number of followers, how many people you’re following, and your bio information.
  • INVITE phone number
    will send an SMS invite to a friend’s mobile phone.
    Example: Invite 415 555 1212
