2. By now, we all know that
Twitter is a social network
where you post short
bursts of thoughts and
information
David Griner

3. Twitter is a virtual water
cooler where the worlds’
news breaks and people
gather to discuss breaking
news, pop-culture, and
their daily musings.
Marketo

4. Twitter revolutionized social media by
making it simple for the world to
communicate in real time.
Think of it as a cross between text
messaging, instant messaging and
blogging.
David Griner

will want to know

17. @Reply
• A reply is a response to another user's Tweet
that begins with the @username of the person
you're replying to. You can reply by clicking
the Reply button on a Tweet.
• Any Tweet that is a reply to you begins with your
@username and will show up in
your Notifications tab.
• When a Tweet starts with a @username, the
only users who will see it in their timeline (other
than the sender and the recipient) are those who
follow both the sender and the recipient.

18. @Reply

19. What is a Mention?
• A mention is a Tweet that contains another
user’s @username anywhere in the body
of the Tweet. (Yes, this means that replies
are also considered mentions.)
• We collect these messages, as well as all
your replies, in your Notifications tab.
• If you include multiple @usernames in
your Tweet, all of those people will see
your Tweet in their Notifications tab.

20. DM
Direct Messages
are the private side
of Twitter. You can
use Direct
Messages to have
private
conversations with
Twitter users about
Tweets and other
content.

21. Retweet (RT)
A Retweet is a re-
posting of someone
else's
Tweet. Twitter's
Retweet feature
helps you and
others quickly
share that Tweet
with all of your
followers.

22. Hashtags
The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to
mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was
created organically by Twitter users as a
way to categorize messages.

23. What Hashtags?
For Congress
#Pope2Congress
For Papal Visit for DOSP
#DOSPlive
