Quick Twitter tips
Posted by Nancy Van Leuven, Ph.D. on February 4, 2010
Here’s some of the common terms for Tweets:
# (“hashtag”) = symbol for creating common category of information, like a “tag” (examples: #BSCPR; #GLEE) —
@ symbol = reply to another Twitterer, or attribution/reference to another Twitterer (example: @NancyVanLeuven is in response to my tweet)–
RT (“retweet”) = For forwarding someone else’s tweet to your own followers (example: RTNancyVanLeuven will simply send out that tweet); Can also use “via” when not a direct retweet (i.e. via @ @nancyvanleuven). See more on retweeting in this Fast Company report.
D= direct message. Send reply only to another Twitterer, so it’s not a public tweet. E.g. D NancyVanLeuven (would send that Tweet only to me)
