If you are new to Twitter or if you do not have an account yet read the following article to get started:
By now you should have a basic understanding of Twitter and a valid account.
Go to Tools/Accounts and add your Twitter accounts. You can add as many accounts as you like. By default the first account you add will become your default account. You can change this later. For the default account you can select whether you like to automatically login to the twitter.com on startup.
Note: In order to use Twitter Search or to watch the Public Timeline you do not need a Twitter account. You can use those features right away.
