What Twitter lingo should you know?

RT (ReTweet)- when you want to share the tweet that you’ve just read with all of our followers (and possibly specific hashtags too). It is a direct quote.

MT (Mention) - when you want to share the tweet you’ve just read with all of your followers but you change it up in some way - ie not a direct quote

DM (Direct Message)- private message

Favourite (the star) - mark tweets you want to keep

Twitter Etiquette

Try as best as you can to thank people who retweet your tweets
