Recently I was at a local networking event and I was having a casual conversation with two of our current customers when the conversation switched to Twitter. Each was jokingly asking about the difference between a the @symbol and the #hashtag, when to use it when not to use it etc. Now we’ve covered these both in previous posts so I will not go over that again here. However, what was striking to me was the fact that a true the lack of knowledge still surrounds one of the most vital social platforms on the planet.
But no more! Today were putting out a short hand guide to help the novice not only communicate on Twitter but save valuable characters in the process. So without further adieu, I give you “The Basic Twitter Short Hand Guide”. As collected from various online resources, enjoy and have fun!
