Tweets, but the real magic of Twitter lies in absorbing real-time information that matters to you.

Anatomy of a Tweet
Who do you want to be?• Your username (Twitter handle) says a lot about you– try to create a handle that is easy to remember and spell
so others can connect with you (max. 15 characters)– cannot include ‘admin’ or ‘twitter’
• Think about how you want the world to see you on Twitter…while remaining authentic
• Picture - should represent who you want to be on Twitter…don’t be the egg!
• Bio (160 characters) - choose your words wisely: this is your public persona on Twitter. You may want to include your web address or other contact information, but keep in mind this information is public to everyone on the web.

they’ve suggested. Twitter will tell you if the username you want is available.• Double-check your name, email address, password, and username.• Click Create my account. (You may be asked to complete a Captcha to prove that

Finding people on Twitter
#whatsahashtag• The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords
or topics in a Tweet and is a way to categorise messages. • Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you
all other Tweets marked with that keyword.• Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet – at the
beginning, middle, or end.• Don't #spam #with #hashtags. Don't over-tag a single
Tweet. A good rule of thumb is maximum 2/3 hashtags per Tweet.
• Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.
Example: In the Tweet below, @AlisonGermon included the hashtags #ausdairy and #ADC14.• #ausdairy is the standard # for the Australian dairy
industry• #ADC14 was the # for the Australian Dairy Conference
held in Geelong in Feb 2014.

Joining conversations: favoriting, replying & mentioning
What is a favorite?• You can ‘favorite’ a Tweet by clicking on the star.• This means you like the content of the Tweet.• It is also a way of saving or bookmarking Tweets you like.
What is an @reply?• An @reply is any update posted by clicking the Reply button on a Tweet.• Any Tweet that is an @reply to you begins with your username and will show up in
your mentions tab on the Notifications page.
What is a mention?• A mention is any Twitter update that contains "@username" anywhere in the
body of the Tweet. (Yes, this means that @replies are also considered mentions.)• If you include more than one person's name in your Tweet and you use the
@username format, all of those people will see the Tweet in their mentions tab.
