Exploring Twitter at Our Apartments in Gainesville, FL

In recent years, Twitter.com has become a popular forum for people to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and opinions in real time. The website has grown incredibly as a social media platform, enabling companies and celebrities to communicate with their customers and fans in a way that was not possible just a decade ago. You, too, can create and use a Twitter account, and you can do so right at your Bellamay Grand apartment.

Once you’ve created an account by filling out the appropriate fields at the “New to Twitter?” area on www.Twitter.com, you may find using Twitter to be a bit confusing at first. Here are some basics that will get you started in no time:

• Tweet – A tweet is a type of message that you send on Twitter. Consisting of only 140 characters, it can cover a range of topics, from letting your followers know about your day to sharing your thoughts on a popular or controversial matter.
• Retweet – A retweet, or RT, is the act of republishing someone else’s tweet while citing that person for being the originator of the message. By doing this, you can spread tweets that you enjoy or promote important messages or causes that you heard about in a tweet.
• Hashtag – A hashtag, denoted by a # symbol, is used to summarize a theme found in a tweet and group tweets within a certain topic together. For example, you could tweet, “Just picked up a beautiful new couch at IKEA #IKEA.” Twitter tracks popular hashtags and publishes brief lists of the most popular markers on a daily basis. Users also can search for a hashtag and get all the Tweets that contain it.

Soon, you’ll be enjoying all that Twitter has to offer by tweeting and reading tweets on a regular basis.
