  2. Retweet: The “retweet” (often shortened to “RT”) was not originally designed by the Twitter team. Twitter users invented it so they can re-post something really interesting from another Twitter user.
  3. Reply and Mention: A “reply” on Twitter is a direct response to a post from another user. “mention” is where user identify someone user mention by using his or her @username.
  4. Direct Message: Direct Message is services that give privacy to user to send their tweet to a specific user without everyone else notice or see it.
  5. #hashtag: Hashtags are essentially keywords. For example, #techrepublic is a hashtag. When people post links to TechRepublic articles, they often identify them by adding the #techrepublic hashtag at the end of the tweet. Doing a Twitter search on a hashtag allows user to see all of the Twitter conservations that are happening around a specific topic. It can also be a good way to find people who regularly talk about a specific topic and then follow them.
  6. Posting Link: Some of the most popular things to post on Twitter are links to articles, blog posts, video clips, etc. Many of the most valuable people to follow are the ones who post the best links, and that means not just the big stories that everyone is tweeting but also the really good stories that are under the radar.
  7. Posting Photos and Videos: Another interesting things to post on Twitter are photos and videos taken from user’s smartphone. This can be especially useful when user is at trade conferences and industry events and user wants to report on items of interest or user can share their daily photos and videos to their friends via twitter by posting it.
