3. Understanding the language
ReTweet:RT is a ‘ReTweet’ of something that someone else has
posted. It assigns credit to the original post. A RT starts with “RT @(name of user) and then the tweet. You can also ask others to RT something you have posted by adding “please RT” at the end of your message.

3. Understanding the language
Hashtag #:#tags classify things you are talking about. Before you
use one do a search for it to see if anyone else is using it. This helps users who are searching for something specific find it. e.g. #elderly #homecare. Try and find something specific to your industry.
