In a recent article, Digital Trends talks about Twitter Circle, including what it is, how to set it up, and how to send a tweet to your own Twitter Circle.

- On your home page, select the More option from the sidebar menu on the left side of your screen.
- From the menu that appears, select Twitter Circle.
- You should now be looking at the Edit your Twitter Circle screen. Select the Recommended tab – On this tab, you can either use the Search people bar to find specific Twitter users you want to add to your Circle or you can just start adding people from the already populated list of recommended users. Either way, to add someone to your Circle, choose the Add button. Once you’ve successfully added someone, their respective Add button should turn into a Remove button.
- You can see all of the people you’ve added to your Circle by selecting the Twitter Circle tab on the Edit your Twitter Circle screen.
When you’re done adding people, hit the X icon. That’s it!
