Twitter

Best Practices:

• Only add people who tweet relevant tweets
• I need to see 5 relevant tweets before I add someone
• Create lists to categorize your tweets
• If I cannot add a person to a list - I do not follow

Within a Tweet there are three live components:

• # - Hashtags or Tags - allow to search for the word after the #
• In this example I clicked on #adpcenter - each tweet in this window contains it
• @ - indicates a twitter address - allows you to direct a tweet to somebody
• Link - A clickable link to a website or article

From drop-down arrow you can Add or remove the person from lists.

Select as many lists as apply

These are my tweets

When you hover over a Tweet you see options to:

• Reply - send a response to the original Tweeter
• Retweet - This will send the same tweet to everyone that follows you
• Why Retweet - Instead of clicking on a link and claiming is as your own find - it gives credit - and tells your followers that they might want to follow this person

In 5 minutes I received 20 new tweets

How do I make sense of all of this information

Lists:

• You can have up to 20
• Allow you to organize who you follow
• People can be a part of multiple lists
