I like Twitter and I follow quite a few people on it. I was explaining quickly to Janelle how it works and here’s what I wrote
Twitter is like Facebook status messages and Instant Messaging rolled into one
You can post what you are doing and see what others are doing
If you want to send a message particularly to someone's attention you type their name in preceded by the @
So to send to me or notify me particularly you type @noblejoker in your message
You can do that with anyone - you don't have to be 'following' them to send the tweet message.
I see though that you are following me and I am following you so whatever you write to anyone (@someone) or to no one I should see
You will also see people retweet
That is usually done as rt @name where the rt stands for retweet.
So lets say I write "something cool" and you want everyone following you to see it you then retweet my tweet like this:
”rt @noblejoker something cool”
Do you Twitter?if so send me a message and feel free to follow me
