Hashtag: How tu use twitter 101
- Jace, not like that.
He was swiping the screen, with no logical objetive.
- Is this Twi- twittour? Twinger? How was it?
- Twitter, Jace. Twitter.
- Huh. What a stupid name.
- It's not, it describes perfectly its use.
- Well, I don't see it, Clary. Why are you teaching me, anyways?
- So you can express yourself without complaining all the time.
- Huh, so you are saying I bother you.
- It's not that it's just-
- Teach me.
She sighed, thinking how hard it would be for her.
- First you enter the app -she touched the screen and the timeline appeared instanctly-.
- Wow. Why is there a list, full of little sentences?
- That's the timeline.
His eyes shined, he was amazed by it.
- Show me more, Clary.
- Okay… why so excited in a sudden?
- Me? Excited? -he coughed- You know me better than that.
- If you say so -she let a little giggle out, while his eyes looked at her "angrily"-.
- In your timeline, you can see the tweets from people you follow.
- Follow? But there's no mission right now…
- Not follow literally, Jace (what a dumbass). Just forget that. It's the word you use. And they can follow you. Then here, you can write your tweets. But they can't be long, only 140 caracters.
- Let me try.
- Okay, but be careful with my phone, please.
He started typing, and his face turned into a huge grin, like he had discovered a new world, all by himself. When he finished writing, he pouted.
- I don't know what to do next, Clary.
- Oh, you press this button, and done.
- That easy? AMAZING! Um, I meant cool.
- Then, if you like someone a lot, you can receive notifications of their tweets. You go to their profile, and press the star next to the follow button.
- Can we do that to Chloe Grace Moretz, because i just love the way she acts.
- Oh really? When have you seen her? Because as I recall, you don't watch mundies movies -she said mocking at his despective expressions-.
- I was bored the other day and I went to the cinema. I saw "The Equalizer" and I liked her. Only that.
- Fine, let's do it.
In the next weeks, he kept asking Clary for her phone, so that he could use that marvelous (according to what he said) app.
