What Are Twitter Bookmarks?
Twitter bookmarks allow you to save tweets to a private list so you can easily find them later. When you bookmark a tweet, it is saved in the “Bookmarks” section of your Twitter account.
To bookmark a tweet:
- Tap the “Share” icon below the tweet
- Select “Add Tweet to Bookmarks”
You can access your bookmarked tweets anytime by tapping your profile icon and selecting “Bookmarks”.
Benefits of Bookmarks:
- Easily save interesting tweets without cluttering up your timeline or mentions
- Privately organize tweets into categories
- Quickly find tweets later by topic
Once you’ve compiled a list of bookmarked tweets, you may want to share them with others. Here are 3 easy ways to share your bookmarked tweets:
You can make your bookmarks public so anyone can view them.
To share your public bookmarks:
- Go to your Bookmarks tab
- Tap the “Share” button
- A pre-formatted tweet with a link to your bookmarks will appear. You can edit the tweet before posting.
When people click the link in your tweet, they’ll be able to see all the tweets you’ve publicly bookmarked.
You can also share individual bookmarked tweets:
- Go to your Bookmarks tab
- Tap on the tweet you want to share
- Tap the “Share” icon
- Choose how you want to share the tweet (Direct Message, WhatsApp, etc)
Sharing individual tweets lets you selectively share your favorite bookmarked content.
Tools like Dewey make it easy to share your Twitter bookmarks with others:
- Go to your bookmarked tweets in Dewey
- Click “Share Folder”
- A pre-formatted tweet with a link to your bookmarks will appear. Customize and post.
Third-party bookmarking tools provide more options for organizing and sharing your favorite tweets.
Best Practices for Sharing Twitter Bookmarks
When sharing your Twitter bookmarks, keep these best practices in mind:
- Customize the auto-generated tweet so the context makes sense before sharing a bookmarks folder link
- Only publicly share appropriate content
- Use bookmarks to organize tweets by topic before sharing related content with your audience
- Share bookmarks selectively instead of your entire collection to avoid oversharing
More Tips for Managing Twitter Bookmarks
In addition to sharing your bookmarks, here are some more tips for managing your Twitter Bookmarks:
- Review bookmarks regularly and remove outdated or irrelevant tweets
- Use third-party tools like Dewey to organize bookmarks by topic or tag for easier searching/sharing
- Bookmark tweets instead of liking or retweeting if you want to quietly save content for later
- Use bookmarks for research by saving tweets with useful links/resources to review later
