How to Invite Contacts to Join Twitter

You can use Twitter to connect with your friends by sending them an invitation to join Twitter. By inviting your friends to become Twitter contacts, you’re letting them know that you’re on Twitter and that they can follow your updates by signing up for Twitter themselves.

To send an invitation during the Twitter registration process, you can import your contacts from your e-mail address book and invite them to use Twitter. (Just select your contacts you’d like to invite on the Why Not Invite Some Friends? screen and click the arrow.)

On the top navigation bar of any Twitter page, click the Find People link.

The tabbed navigation loads below the navigation bar.

Click Invite by Email and, in the text box that appears, enter the e-mail addresses of the people to whom you want to send an invite.

Separate each e-mail address with a comma and a space.

After you enter all the addresses you want, click Invite.

You’re done!

If you don’t opt to invite people during the registration process, or you want to invite people later, you can always e-mail people you know whom you think would most enjoy or benefit from Twitter, sending them a link to your Twitter profile and writing a note explaining what Twitter is. Many people choose this approach when they first join Twitter so that they can keep the invitation process personal.
