What if you can’t say all you need through a tweet or a status update? What if there’s more to life than this? Urturn enables you to do so much more with so much less. Try out a ready-made Urturn Expression and open your eyes to a brand new world of possibilities. Expressions will enable you to get the most out of the content you capture and to spontaneously share it with your friends.

Use at least six characters. Keep in mind that the more complex the password is, the safer it becomes. A random sequence of words and/or letters and numbers, or the use of upper and lower case or punctuation and symbols will complicate it further.

Also, choose a password that you will remember so that you don't need to keep looking it up.

Add hashtags in the ‘note’ of your post. This will help you categorize your posts and make it easier for others to search for them. When you type a hashtag in the search field, all posts containing this hashtag will be displayed in the search results.

Description:
Hashtags are keywords, prefixed with the symbol #, that mark your posts as belonging to a particular topic. i.e. you can use general topics such as #fashion #music #food, or create specific ones.

Privacy settings are adjusted at the bottom of the note part of your post prior to posting it (the ‘Globe’ icon). Once a post has been published as ‘public’ or changed from ‘private’ to ‘public’, it cannot be set back to ‘private’. For a post to remain ‘private’, it must be published as such from the start.

There are some topic restrictions. Check our Community Guidelines for more information on what you can or cannot do on our platform.

So you're having the time of your life on Urturn, but you’d like to share it with a few more friends? First, remember that people will follow you if they find what you post interesting and meaningful. With that in mind, here are some tips to get yourself out there and known in the community:

• Follow like-minded people: Common interests are the best way to connect, right? You’ll find inspiring people here.
• When you see something you’re thrilled about, like it or repost it. That way the author will get a notification and probably check out your profile. And seeing all the cool stuff you’re up to, they'll follow you!
  
• You already know tons of people who would love to follow you... Connect with your existing online networks and invite your Facebook friends and Twitter followers  to come join you on Urturn.
  

You can set your post to ‘private’ and not select anyone to share it with. By doing this, no one but you will be able to view your post.

Note that you can also mark them as ‘unlisted’ or ‘private’ for a select group of people.

Make sure to add hashtags.
