How To Link Directly to an Individual Tweet

Each Tweet on Twitter has a unique URL. You can use this link to navigate directly to the Tweet or to refer someone directly to any Tweet. These direct status links make it easier to share individual Tweets by email or IM.

Here's how to find a Tweet's URL:

• Locate the Tweet anywhere on Twitter.com.
• Click on the Tweet's timestamp. Below each Tweet, you'll see information about when the Tweet was posted. We call this the "timestamp" (see below).
• You'll land on a page showing only that Tweet. This link does not expire. Here is the link to the Tweet shown below: http://twitter.com/Support/status/19606107137
• Copy the URL that shows up in your browser address bar.
• Paste the URL in a message to anyone with whom you want to share the Tweet.

Now, you can direct friends to any individual Tweet! It's that easy.

You can also click onto a Tweet's permanent link (permalink, for short) to see:

• The exact time the Tweet was posted.
• The service or application used to post the Tweet (Twitter.com, Twitter for iPhone, Tweetdeck, etc.)
• A sampling of the users who retweeted the Tweet.
