The Language of Twitter
It’s not code – it’s commonsense.

THE LANGUAGE OF TWITTERThe biggest fear I encounter when an agent asks about Twitter is a fear of the “secret codes” and “inside language” of this social media tool.
It’s not a secret, nor do you have to be an insider to understand the language of Twitter.

LISTEN, LURK AND LEARNUnless you lock down your tweets, your tweets will be public. This is good thing. Just remember The Mother Rule.
Anyone can listen, lurk and learn at www.twitter.com without having to have a twitter account.

THE 140 CHARACTER TWEETo @whitehouse is the author
o #WHHangout is a tag they are using to speak about a particular subject or event

THE 140 CHARACTER TWEET
o The references to @HUDNews and @Zillow mention other tweeters
o At the bottom, you can click to view the video (again), you can reply to @whitehouse regarding this tweet, you can retweet the info to your followers or you can click favorite to save.

@MENTIONS
When another person on Twitter mentions you or more specifically your Twitter handle, you will see this in your @Connect column on Twitter and you will get an email.

THE DM (DIRECT MESSAGE)Direct messages are private messages that will not appear in the public twitter stream. DM’s follow the same 140 character rule and can only be sent when the sender and the receiver follow each on twitter.
If you attempt to send a DM to a user that does not follow you back, you will get a “this person does not follow you back warning” and you will not be able to send.

THE REPLYReplying to others is the best thing you can do on Twitter. Have a conversation!

THE RE-TWEETRetweeting is sending a tweet (usually not your own) out to your followers. There are two ways re-tweet something. A standard RT with no comments OR a RT with comments.

USING HASHTAGSI’m not sure that hashtags are entirely necessary anymore, but you will still see them used on Twitter.
A hashtag is used to group tweets together. Try: #TP12#RENET#realestate#Philadelphia#JustinBieber

THERE IS NO SECRET CODEBottom line, do not be afraid of Twitter. There are no secret codes. If you are interested in trying Twitter – listen, lurk and learn and then, jump in with both feet.
Remember to focus on having a conversation. Interaction is key to success on ANY social media platform. Always reply when mentioned and reach out to others who say something your interested in … you can totally do this.
