A Basic Twitter Glossary(Provided by Alise Isbell)
A Basic Twitter Glossary
• Tweets – 140 character maximum micro blog
• All Friends – People or entities you follow and who follow you.
• Mentions – Simply use the @ + username to refer specifically to someone.
• Followers - Twitter sends you an email when someone new follows you. Set up your email preferences to notify you when you have a new follower. The followers link on your profile page or home page's sidebar will also tell you how many followers you have.
• Following - Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates. When you follow someone, every time they post a new message, it will appear on your Twitter home page. New messages are added to your home page as people post them, so you always get the updates in real time. When you log in, you can see what the latest updates are.
Twitter offers other ways to follow people too: you can get updates from certain people on your phone!
A Basic Twitter Glossary
• Retweet or RT - indicates a re-posting of someone else's tweet. This isn't an official Twitter command or feature, but people add RT somewhere in a tweet to indicate that part of their tweet includes something they're re-posting from another person's tweet, sometimes with a comment of their own. Check out this great article on re-tweeting, written by a fellow Twitter user, @ruhanirabin.
• Twitpic or Pictures - Twitter doesn't offer an official picture posting feature of its own, however, most people use a third party application (a popular one is TwitPic) to post pictures to Twitter accounts. Check out other photo and video apps on the Twitter Fan Wiki here!
• Profile – Information about you. Use keywords to describe your expertise, work, interests or other aspects of your life you would like others to know.
• Shorten URL – Enables you to post long URL addresses by contracting them to use fewer characters.
A Basic Twitter Glossary
• Reply = @username + message - directs a twitter at another person, and causes your twitter to save in their "replies" tab. Example: @meangrape I love that song too!
• DMs = D username + message - sends a person a private message that goes to their device, and saves in their web archive. Example: D krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you're there?
• FAV username - marks a person's last twitter as a favorite and causes the message to show up in your "Favorites" tab.
• SET LOCATION placename - updates the location field in your profile Example: set location san francisco
• WHOIS username - retrieves the profile information for any public user on Twitter. Example: whois jack
• GET username - retrieves the latest Twitter update posted by the person. Example: get goldman
• NUDGE username - reminds a friend to update by asking what they're doing on your behalf. Example: nudge biz
A Basic Twitter Glossary
• FAV username - marks a person's last twitter as a favorite. (hint: reply to any update with FAV - to mark it as a favorite if you're receiving it in real time) Example: fav al3x
• STATS - this command returns your number of followers, how many people you're following, and your bio information.
• INVITE phone number - will send an SMS invite to a friend's mobile phone. Example: Invite 415 555 1212
Advanced Twitter
• Hashtags – Used for keywords to trend topics and see which are most popular at a given time.
• Search – Twitter Search enables users to search for keywords, people, companies or other entities of interest
• Groups – Organizations or companies can tweet about products and services to generate a following or offer special promotions to customers
• Twitter Clients – Software client used for Twitter website other than Twitter like Tweetdeck, Hootsuite and Ubertwitter
• Multiple accounts – Many people have aspects of their lives they wish to compartmentalize. Having multiple accounts enables messaging about distinct topics and targeted information to different audiences
