  5. Twitter Terminology • Tweet - Each of your Twitter posts or updates is known as a tweet. • @- The @ symbol is a way of referring to another Twitter user. For example, @PSRCtrainingmeans you're either sending a message to the training team or you're talking about them in your message. • Retweet - A retweet - or RT - is when you share the tweet of one user with all of your Twitter followers. If you happen to follow a Twitter news feed and they post a link to a story that you feel should be shared, you can "retweet" it.

  6. Twitter Terminology • Reply - Reply is when you respond to a tweet from a particular userin the public feed. • Direct Message – Replies are completely public, but a direct message is a private message that you send through a discussion board. You can only send a direct message to someone that is following your account. • Follower – Unlike Facebook, Twitter allows for one-way relationships. If you find Twitter users who are interesting, you can "follow them" to subscribe to their tweets.

  7. Twitter Terminology • Hashtagor # - Hashtagsare words or acronyms that begin with the number sign. They are used when many people are tweeting about the same topic or from the same event. • Hashtags provide a means of grouping such messages, since one can search for the hashtag and get the set of messages that contain it.

  8. How do you find people to follow? If you know a user’s name, you can search here.

  9. Connect with others The @connect tab allows you to see only your interactions with others.
