This is what i was always looking forward to since I joined Twitter, many times i used to think that how about if one day i tweet and it will disappear. And this is what happened with me last night.

In curiosity I again tweeted “#Off ” from my web browser; this time also tweet disappeared. I was like “OMG is this called an Invisible Tweet”. And without thinking much i typed ” #On ” from my browser and the miracle happened again – tweet disappeared. The increasing curiosity forced me to search about this on google and look what i found.

These are no Invisible Tweets but just Twitter Text Commands

Did you know you can perform certain actions, like following or marking a friend’s update as a favorite, by using the designated Twitter commands? Use the commands listed below from your phone, the web update box, or your favorite third party application.

Please note : When using these commands, do not append an @ along with it. For example, if you want to turn on device notifications send only ON and not @ON. If you send these commands with an @, your commands will be read as a username and will not be executed as expected!
