Finding the URL for Individual or Specific Tweet
(Know what? This tutorial is a little out of date since Twitter changed it’s interface. Here’s an updated version on my Blog Tutorial Site, Sticky Readers. Click here to go to it now.)
This page will tell you how to get the URL for a single specific tweet, should you ever have such a need. Like when you enter some ridiculous contest that requires you to tweet about it and they have the audacity to demand that you easily prove that you did, in fact, tweet about it. But if you’re a blabber mouth who tweets a hundred tweets a day, then the contest runner might have trouble locating that specific contest tweet and then you might get inadvertently disqualified and that would be sad.
This is actually very easy and you could have found out already how to find a specific tweet if I’d just shut and tell you already. So here we go:
1. Go to the Twitter Home page at http://www.twitter.com/home (be sure to include the “home” part). If you’re already logged in, you will be redirected to your Twitter Feed page. Otherwise, login with your twitter ID and password, which will guess what? That’s right, take you to your Twitter Feed page.
2. Click on Profile in the upper right hand corner of the Twitter Feed Page. This will take you to the list of all your tweets. The URL of this page would be something like http://twitter.com/nannygoats, except with your Twitter ID at the end instead of mine.
3. Find the specific tweet for which you wish to grab the URL.
There’s a date time stamp underneath each tweet as pictured above. Click that date time stamp.
4. This will take you to the page for the single tweet. The URL displayed at the top of your browser will look something like this:
http://twitter.com/nannygoats/status/14257550132
That, my friends, is the URL for your specific tweet.
If You Use Hootsuite
You can click on the datetime link in a Hootsuite tweet too which will take you to the page and URL for the specific tweet.
