By now, we all know that

Twitter is a social network

where you post short

bursts of thoughts and

information David Griner

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

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

A few Twitter terms you

will want to know

@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.

@Reply

What is a Mention?

A mention is a Tweet that contains another

users @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.

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.

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.

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.

What Hashtags?

For Congress

#Pope2Congress

For Papal Visit for DOSP
