A Beginner's
Guide to
Do you have a parent, friend or colleague ready to ditch his or her digital training wheels
and head into Twitter's open wilderness? These pointers should get them started.
First, the basics: What is Twitter all about?
It's a platform where users share their thoughts, news, information and jokes in 140 characters of
text or less. Twitter makes global communication cheap and measurable. Profiles are usually
public and anyone in the world can see what you write. Users "follow" each other in order to keep
tabs on and converse with other people.

The first step is to understand and master the vernacular. There are certain words and jargon
native to Twitter that you may already have heard in passing. These terms and their abbreviations
are essential for understanding the network.
 Tweet: A 140-character message.
 Retweet (RT): Giving credit to and sharing someone else’s tweet.
 Feed: The stream of tweets you see on your homepage. It's comprised of updates from
users you follow.
 Handle: Your username.
 Mention (@): A way to reference another user by his username in a tweet (e.g.
@mashable). It's a way to conduct discussions with other users in a public arena.
 Direct Message (DM): A private, 140-character message between two people. You can
decide whether to accept a Direct Message from any Twitter user, or only from users you
are following. You may only DM a user who follows you.
 Hashtag (#): A way to indicate a topic of conversation or participate in a larger linked
discussion (e.g. #Thevoice, #Jamaica). A hashtag is a discovery tool that allows others to
find your tweets, based on topics. You can also click on a hashtag to see all the tweets that
mention a topic in real time.
Read on for the Twitter basics, but remember that Twitter is an experience. The more you use it,
the more enjoyable and informative it will become. We hope you stick with it, so you can have
great conversations and make personal connections with people around the world.

into Twitter World an enjoyable and exciting experience.
