HELP: Twittle Twiddle Tweeter for Twitter

The Twittle Twiddle Tweeter for Twitter is very simple to use. It is designed specifically for busy people that want to tweet, but want as little fuss as possible.

Your First Tweet - Authorizing Twittle Twiddle Tweeter

The first time you tweet, you must authorize Twittle Twiddle Tweeter to tweet for you. This is very simple and Twittle Twiddle Tweeter guides you through the process automatically. You are prompted with instructions:

If you haven't already, make sure that you sign up for a Twitter account at the Twitter web site. You can sign up here.

Once you are signed up and ready to authorize Twittle Twiddle Tweeter, you do that in Twittle Twiddle Tweeter's Authorization Browser:

Once you authorize Twittle Twiddle Tweeter, Twitter will give you a PIN # that you must give to Twittle Twiddle Tweeter. This is largely a waste of your time, so Twittle Twiddle Tweeter will automatically copy your PIN # so that you can get started immediately. However, if for some reason Twittle Twiddel Tweeter can't automatically copy the PIN # for you, then you must copy it manually in the Authorization Browser and close the Authorization Browser. You must then paste it (or type it) into Twittle Twiddle Tweeter's PIN # box:
