Okay so I signed up for Twitter awhile ago, but I never really used it. Today since I was procrastinating all the reviews and giveaways I need to write up, I decided to give Twitter a go! Now I am addicted! I just kept clicking and linking and got lost in the Twitter World!
Also, I posted a Twitter Bird on the left (and below) so you can follow me and I posted an entry with code to copy for all my Giveaways.
Does anyone have any tips or hints for me? Like what does #, @, and all the other Twitter language hints mean? What kind of stuff do you tweet about?
Oh and when contests ask for you to post your Tweet URL, what does that mean?

an @ is who you are talking to like you can retweet something i say and say RT @kiddiescorner # are hashtags like on Fridays they do #followfriday just an easier way to see whats being talked about. The tweet URL is this. If you going into your updates you’ll see what you tweeted. Click on the timestamp this will give you your tweet url up in the address bar. I hope this helps I’ll start following you! I’m an addict at twitter
I am new to Twitter also and love it. Wish I could help with the questions, but i’m clueless…still learning. I’m glad kiddiescorner posted above me though..think I understand a little better now
…also the # is the chat room. SO if you go to tweetchat.com they ask for a room and you type in followfridays…or whatever it be? it takes you to that room.
I am also have twitter confusion. Though I haven’t put much effort into figuring it out. This helped a bit!
Thanks!
I am very new to twitter myself and learning. I posted a few things but haven’t really had a chance to do more. I have started following on twitter the bloggers that I follow. It is exciting to open your email and see that someone new is following you! I know…doesn’t take much for me…lol.
I’ll tweet with you! Yes, it’s very addictive! Enjoy!
Yep…addictive. I’ve slowed down a bit though. To post your tweet URL for a contest entry and what not just click on the “updated 5 seconds ago” or whatever and it will take you to the permalink for the tweet.
On your twitter page’s sidebar if you click on @(yourtwittername) it will show anyone who has included your twitter name in their tweet.
Have fun tweeting! I’m following you now!
I still don’t understand what kiddiescorner means. Sorry.
I need more on what hashtags are? I still don’t understand but I sure know how to twwet sweeps.
I am now following you on twitter. The #’s are sometimes parties. If you are interested in a particular one when you see it you can just ask. Make sure you add the hashtag (#word) to get a response! Twitter is great have fun.
Well, I can see you got your questions answered!! I have not had a whole lot of time to twitter, but I try to get on every couple of days or so… It totally can be addicting, so I try to limit my time, LOL!
Thanks everyone! Yeah I can tweet contests pretty good too!
I’ve been following you for awhile now
And Im kinda just learning as I go along too.
Thanks for following me, I’m following you now too.
Also another thing I don’t know if you know about is Twitterfeed.com
You can set it up so that it will post your blog updates automatically to Twitter.
Oh, and you can use Tweetdeck- I like it much better than just twitter since you can watch different search words at the same time. It helps when you join a twitter party!
