Many a times it happens that the newbies find themselves confused the moment they create their account. You need not get messed up, it doesn’t have any rocket science involve in it, and if you know certain basic principles to operate twitter then you can easily give a smooth start with twitter. So, here we have come up with some the basics related to twitter especially for the beginners.
Till now we only know that twitter is only a micro blogging site. Let’s start from the beginning, what does the word tweet actually means? A tweet is nothing but your expression on a particular situation or a moment, and that is being written in the form of micro blogging which consists of only 140 words. This tweet may be of text or content or one can use photo, videos to express.
Many of us think twitter is same just like other social networking sites but this is actually not true. There are some basic differences between them, like for example in other sites one can hide their posts, photos, or any personal status but this is not happened in Twitter. Twitter is basically created to “share”, the moment you share anything on twitter it would be shared by the followers. The main thing about twitter lies here only, through the sharing of the thoughts and expression one can easily get in touch with the specific group of people. They can follow others and can talk and stay updated with a very low cost and at a less time. It’s not necessary that you have to follow only your friends or relatives or your acquaintances but you can follow your favourite politicians, sportsman, celebrity, authors and you can be a part with the tweets that’s being shared by them.
Next is you all know that the text that you want to post in twitter that should contain up to 140 words, as the messaging words is too short for that you can special character like smiles or jargons in order to make it more interactive. When you are creating your account in twitter then you have to select your username that will be definitely of your choice and that should be of 15 characters not more than that and that username you change till it is not being taken. Then you have to give the password and other necessary individual details that will be required accordingly.
Sometimes I have found that the user is getting confused between a “twitter reply” and a “twitter mention”. When you are actually sharing your post with someone in reply generally that post appears with your username that is a “reply” and when someone has mentioned you in a post with your username at the last then it is a “mention”.
The next important topic is on hashtags which we often see in many other social networking platforms. These hashtags are widely being used in twitter also, if you use the hashtags on your post or you have clicked the hashtags someone else’s post then can directly move to the thread. Though there are some limits in the use of these hashtags.
Thus, if you know the know-hows of the use of twitter then you can handle twitter with ease.
