Twitter

Does anyone know if there is a way to lock/protect your twitter feed only to certain users? So it's generally unlocked unless a blocked user looks at it?

Block just seems to mean people can't follow you but they can still see everything if they go to yoir profile & you're not protected.

    That only works to lock your entire feed, I meant so your profile is generally open except to certain users?

    I don't think Twitter was made for that....but maybe someone else know more (probably espresso).

    If there's information you'd rather not share with people, then don't post it to the internet - especially not places like twitter.

    Or create an alias from a new email address and then post to hearts' content....

    Thanks, I was more curious because of this:

    ...noticed today that a profile was open until I logged in so I could follow it and it then showed up as protected...but on my business twitter account it isn't locked. Seemed odd and wondered if it was a new update I'd missed!

    Is there an echo in here?
