Retweeting
When you share the
content of someone else’s tweet to your followers (or vice versa). Often designated as a retweet by adding an "RT").
@Mention
When you want to mention
another Twitter user in your tweet, use the @ symbol, followed by their Twitter
account name. When you do this, that
user will be notified that they have been mentioned. You can also keep track of who mentions you.
# Hashtag
When you want to reference a
particular topic and flag it for other users to view, use a hashtag. A hashtag is the # symbol followed by your
topic. Some hashtags are meant to be
useful (#unidigadv), others are playful (#worstepisodeever). You can search Twitter by hashtag to find
relevant content.
URL Shortening
Twitter will automatically
shorten long URLs, or you can use a URL shortening service (like ow.ly or bit.ly).
Direct Message
You can DM another Twitter
user, sending them a private message that is only viewable to them. Useful for follow-up or personal
interactions. Beware of any DM that says something to the effect of "Someone is posting terrible photos of you at (url link)" - Do not click on the link. This is a sign that user's Twitter account has been hacked.
Lists
You can organize the people
you follow into lists to make it easier to view relevant content. For example, if you are into sports marketing
you may want to create a list for “NBA Teams” or “NFL Coaches” or “Denver Bronco
Players”. You can choose to have your
lists be public or private.
Advanced Search
Use quotation marks for exact
phrases like “UNI Marketing”.
Use the minus sign (-) for to
exclude words –like –these –words.
Use the number sign (#likethis)
to search for tweets containing particular hashtags.
Searching by location
Use the word “near” followed
by a colon and placename in quotation marks, followed by the word “within”, a
colon, and a distance in miles to specify a geographic location to search.
This searches tweets within
100 miles of Cedar Falls for the word UNI:
UNI near:”Cedar Falls, Iowa” within:100mi
Searching by sentiment
For tweets with a positive
sentiment, use :) For tweets with a
negative sentiment, use :(
For tweets containing a
question, use ?
