If you’re new to twitter and need a guide as to what this is all about, please take a look at our other blog post “The phenomenon of twitter!”. For those of you that have made the jump and have a fully functional twitter account complete with an avatar and background image, but can’t understand all the acronyms that the people you’re following are using then this quick guide is for you:
@ : This is what you use to reply to someone’s post, but if you already have a twitter account you should already know this. If you want to see what people have said as replies to you, login to your account and go to the twitter homepage (http://twitter.com/home ). You will then need to click the @yourusername in the right sidebar to see your replies.
RT: This stands for “ReTweet” and means that you are just sharing this tweet that you read from someone you’re following, with your followers
