Direct Message Syntax = d username No @ symbol

Can’t DM someone if they don’t follow you. They MUST follow you.

When you use the @ and a username in a Tweet, this means you are publicly talking to that person on Twitter or mentioning them. So don’t say anything you wouldn’t want grandma to hear!

PublicConversation

Mention

If you get the fail whale, try Twitter in a couple of minutes.

Don’t EVER, we mean EVER tweet something you shouldn’t have. Technically you can delete it,BUT if someone retweets your tweet or takes a screen capture, you’re in BIG TROUBLE.

What the Heck Do I

Tweet?(and How?)

Tweet content that you get from your subscription e-mails, retweet others’ tweets, tweet notesWhen you are at an event (hint hint #ILTA11), tweet blog posts, tips, tricks, and trips!

Get a Smartphone or Tablet. Really. Laptops are so 2005.

You can upload a picture to Twitter from any mobile device. It shrinks the picture and attaches a link, so when users click on the link, it displays the picture. Amazing.

Hashtags are like adding search terms to your tweets. They can appear anywhere in a tweet and should not contain any spaces. It’s best to use only one hashtag and no more than three.
