TWITTER 101
Something for everyone
+Twitter Vs. Facebook
Myth: Twitter is just like Facebook.
Twitter is along the lines of “Less is more.”
More freedom of who you can follow.
The ultimate network.
Following someone doesn’t make you a
creepy stalker. At least not on Twitter.
+It is so easy
Main ideas: Every tweet is a max of 140 characters Interaction is key (@replies and RT – retweets) Use a link shortener (ex: goo.gl – Can see how many times it was
clicked.) # hashtags make it easy to follow and search for updates on
specific people or events. For example if you tweet about his class use #journalism5
When you sign up for Twitter, keep your username short and easy. Long names take up too many characters when @replies or RT come through.
Start by following people you know, and people involved in hobbies or activities you like. (ex: photography, running, football…)
