Your pattern for twitter is fine, but the result needs to return to a new variable twitters.
Now, make a new variable, twitters that is an re.search()
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Courses Plus Student 16,352 PointsIs this no longer about the challenge? I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking to capture twitter handles and store them in a dictionary each with a key of 'twitter'?
