Twitter has itâs own language; I wonât read through the full list, but Iâll highlight a few points.
As I mentioned âA Tweetâ is the 140 character message that is communicated through Twitter users to their followers.
The @ symbol w a name, is the Twitter users âhandleâ or username
Hashtags are ways to identify keywords and can be used to sort on interesting content, examples would be #smartercommerce #IBM #marketing
