Because Twister is a peer-to-peer system, it relies on clients' computers to power the network. This is done on a volunteer basis, since doing so is CPU-intensive. In exchange for generating blocks, users can post advertisements, or "Promoted Posts."

On this screen, the user can decide how to follow another Twister user. There are two methods: publicly follow and privately. Public following is visible to any Twister user; private following is not.
After installing Twister on a desktop computer, this is the first screen the user sees. The page contains the user name and avatar, number of posts, followers, and who the user is following, and the top trending tags. It does let you know that you must log in to post messages.
