DM – Direct Message
Direct messages are private messages sent from one
Twitter person to another. You can only send a direct
message to a person who follows you.
RT – Retweet
RT is short for retweet, and indicates a re-posting of
someone else's tweet. This isn't an official Twitter
command or feature, but people add RT somewhere in a
tweet to indicate that part of their tweet includes
something they're re-posting from another person's tweet,
sometimes with a comment of their own.

63. About Twitter
The Lingo
Hashtag - #
Because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or
add extra data, the Twitter community came up with their
own way: hashtags. A hashtag is similar to other web
tags- it helps add tweets to a category. Hashtags have the
'hash' or 'pound' symbol (#) preceding the tag, like so:
#traffic, #followfriday, #hashtag. Hashtags can occur
anywhere in the tweet: some people just add a # before a
word they're using.
Lists

individuals into a group on your Twitter account. Displayed
on the right side menu of your homepage. 63Copyright © 2013 Search Engine Academy Northwest
