Social Media Monday—The Tweet Life, Part Three—Twitter Vocabulary & Etiquette

You may have noticed that Twitter has a language all its own. It’s not hard to learn though, once you get the basics.

There are four ways to utilize Twitter:

• Tweet—This is also called updating your status. It’s something everyone can see.
• Reply—This answers an update and is directed to a specific person, but everyone can see your answer. You do this with the @followed by the person’s name. Example @EdieMelson. This is actually a clickable link so others can click on @EdieMelson to get to their feed.
• Direct Message—This is the Twitter version of a personal email. It only goes to the person you’re addressing.
• Retweet—This is a play on the word, repeat, and is when you repost or repeat something someone else has tweeted.
