• Topical interests • There are two types of targeting. • For broader reach, you can target more than 350 interest
categories, ranging from Education to Home and Garden, to Investing to Soccer. – EG.: if you were promoting a new animated film about dogs, you could select Animation
(under Movies and Television), Cartoons (under Hobbies and Interests), and Dogs (under Pets).
• If you want to target users more specifically, you can create custom segments by specifying certain @usernames that are relevant to the product, event or initiative you are looking to promote.
• According to Twitter...”We look at a variety of signals, including but not limited to the followers, graphs and Tweets you engage with, to understand your interests. This is the case across the product. For example, we consider your interests to determine which content to show in Discover or which accounts to recommend in Who to Follow.”
