7. Defining Twitterisms (Platform & Tools)
Twitter is a rich source of information online. Shared posts
span the gamut from pointless babble to the latest news to
pass-on value and the sharing (or selling) of resources
Tweet:140 character posts (mini-blogs) are displayed on user's
profile page and are only seen by subscribers aka followers
@ Replies: A public message sent from one person to another
distinguished from normal updates by the @username pairing
RT: Retweet is a reposting of someone else's Tweet. People
add RT somewhere in the post to indicate part or all of Tweet is
from someone else
DM or d: Direct Message sent privately from one person to
another and only if both are following each other
# (Hashtag): Words or phrases prefixed with a hash symbol,
with multiple words concentrated like #DrRogerBLane. A
person can then search for the term #DrRogerBLane and this
tagged word will appear in the search engine and as a
Trending Topic
