Where are you?
What are you reading or watching or listening to?
What's funny or provocative?
What do you want someone else to know?
What do you have to say about what everyone's saying?The big question: ,[object Object],[object Object]
Some Twitter conventions Twitter users developed some conventions and shortcuts to make the most of 140 characters: ,[object Object]
"I think that @rhonabwy is awesome." <--everyone who follows you sees this message
"@rhonabwy I think you're awesome." <--@rhonabwy sees this message in "Mentions", plus anyone following you and @rhonabwy sees this message
"@uakronlibraries Do you think @rhonabwy is awesome?"<--@uakronlibraries and @rhonabwy see this message in "Mentions", plus anyone following you and @uakronlibraries sees this message,[object Object]
"I agree! RT @rhonabwy Beets are awesome, and carrots are awesome. Libraries are awesome, too."
"I agree! RT @rhonabwy Libraries are awesome."
It's not okay to change what the person said, or to RT something said in a private account.,[object Object]
"Our library just launched an exciting new service today! #libraries" <--searching for 'libraries' or '#libraries' would bring up this tweet
"Who wants a new totebag? #ala10" <--use the assigned hashtag for a specific event/topic so others can follow what's happening

Use your favorite web search to find individuals or organizations by searching the name along with 'twitter'. Check out accounts when they're retweeted by others you follow. Sometimes these are sharing more information you'd like to access. When you meet someone, ask if they're on Twitter!
