Twitter Permalinks
It took me quite a while to figure out where this ability was in the Twitter interface, so I wanted to share it with you. Did you know you can grab the permalink for a single tweet? A permalink is the permanent URL address on a website. There may be times when during your Twitter experience when you want to link to someone’s tweet. Because people may read your tweet a day, week or month later than you posted it, if you reference someone else’s tweet, it’s a good idea to include that permanent link so people can follow the conversation and understand what you’re talking about.
On the Twitter website, go to the person’s profile and look for the time stamp on the tweet you’re linking. See the example above: “about 12 hours ago”. That will give you a page with just one tweet and nothing else. This way it’s very clear which tweet your referencing.
