Twitter: The Complete Guide

If you have been thinking about signing up for a Twitter account or already have one but don’t really get it,check out this helpful article from Noupe “The Complete Guide to Getting the Most Out of Twitter.” It covers terminology, apps and services, etiquette, and ways to use it. This is a very comprehensive article and even though I have been tweeting for a while, I learned something new.

I knew to use the @twittername format to indicate that my was a reply to another user. I did not know that if i put the @twittername first before the rest of message it would be visible to both of us and our followers. And if I put the @twittername inside the message then only the person I responded to and my followers would see it. Their followers would not. Good to know!
