About Twitter
• Twitter is a short message communication tool that allows you to send out messages (tweets) up to 140 characters long to people who subscribe to you (followers).
• Your tweets can include a link to any web content (blog post, website page, PDF document, etc.) or a photograph or video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, adding an image to a tweet greatly expands what you can share to beyond the 140-character limit for tweets.
• People follow (subscribe) to your Twitter account, and you follow other people. This allows you to read, reply to and easily share their tweets with your followers (retweet)
• Following – People / Company You Follow• Followers – People / Company following you• You can follow anything• You can only receive the messages of those you follow• Use a @ sign prior to a persons handle to direct the message at them• Use a # sign prior to a “word” to find content for group conversation
Because each post can only contain 140 characters, shorthand is used lots when tweeting (think of SMS)
• RT= Retweet (the action of reposting another user’s post, crediting them for it.)
The Basics

i.e. #jobs – to see / follow what people are saying about jobs
• All you do is include “#” + letters in your tweet and it becomes instantly searchable
• People use # tags for events – i.e. #rd15apr, #followfirday, #recruitment, #java, #facebook
