Important Twitter LingoRT = ReTweet – give credit where due, when you pass along
a tweet, the RT shows where it originated fromDM = Direct Message – sometimes you just want to send a
tweet to a person directly without it being publicMany times the URLs may look strange, they have been
condensed to save space through a tool that changes the size of the URL
Hashtags (have a # before the word) – gives your tweet a keyword that can be searched, not always necessary
@ before a login ID – this identifies the “word” as a person and the tweet will show up as a Mention on their page, it is identifying someone directly
