Are you new to twitter?
Finding a twitter app for your phone:
Don’t spend much energy on this yet. Your requirements will shift as you use Twitter.
Pick something free to start.
Finding people to follow:
Look at who your friends follow.
Ask people if they are on Twitter when gathering contact info.
Follow interesting lists like http://Ez.com/shrt
Finding poeple to follow you:
Don’t sweat it yet. They will find you.
Invite interesting friends & family to try it with you.
Miscellaneous:
Set twitter prefs to notify you via email or SMS when someone follows or @mentions you.
When a tweet includes @username that is a mention. Most Twitter apps will help the user see all tweets that mention them.
When a tweet starts with a @mention that is a reply; which will only be seen by the sender and the person mentioned AND tweeps who follow them both. Read more here: RT @adamsconsulting: Twitter 101 | A Refresher In @ Replies – http://Ez.com/replies
When you see RT what follows is a Quoted ReTweet. I included a ReTweet in the tip above.
Tweeps or tweeple or twpl or ppl are Twitter users.
Hashtags are words that start with # to tag a tweet so it will be found via searches for that tag. #ThisIsATag #thistoo #twitterTips
