It may sound very trivial but noobs to twitter find it hard to get the URL of a particular tweet posted on twitter. Here is how you can locate the URL step-by-step:
- Go to the tweet you wish to get the URL for.
- Hover the mouse where date and time is mentioned. (bottom left)
- If you are on Firefox, right click and "Copy Link Location". If you are on IE, right click and copy shortcut.
- Paste it where ever you like. Enjoy!
In case you are still wondering what is twitter, here is a great video that will explain you the concept in plain English

Thanks a lot
Thanks. Twitter needs to handle this feature better. Makes no sense that clicking on the date would lead to the tweet’s URL.
thanks a ton. I was trying to figure this out.

Many thanks, I use Twitter all the time but just couldn’t work that one out!
@David: Welcome!
Just a word of thank – I’ve been trying to work this out for ages.
