5 Commonly Misunderstood Things on Twitter

Those of us who spend a lot of time on the Internet or our SmartPhone, and particularly those of us who blog, find that Twitter is becoming more and more our daily social media outlet. We read volumes of “tweets” each day, and at the same time we are known to make a fair number of tweets and re-tweets ourselves.

TwitipShannon Albert, who runs her own blog entitled My Obsessions was a guest poster today on Twitips – an online guide to getting more out of twitter. Her article was entitled as above.. “5 Commonly Misunderstood Things on Twitter” and in it she talks about the 5 common things people tend to lose track of – the things they don’t do because they’re not reminded of their functions.

Her list is here.. but I’ll refer you to her actual article for the details behind each item:

  • Starting a Tweet with an @
  • Putting your Twitter profile address in the URL field
  • Thinking the new RT feature is untrackable
  • Asking all of Twitter to “DM for more info”
  • Not knowing how to favorite or “star” a Tweet

If you spend any time at all on Twitter, this article is worth a read.

About Tom Murphy
My name is Tom Murphy and I’m becoming more and more a full time Blogger - trying to master this new and dynamic medium called blogging. Back in the late 1990s I found the Internet and was not sure what it was.. or where it was going. I worked at the time for IBM and we had what was called then PROFS - the Professional Office System. I didn’t know it at the time but that was perhaps my beginning interest in blogging. As I learn more and more about Blogging.. and Wordpress.. and my other passion - Ephemera, I hope to be able to blog about it to my followers here on this blogsite. Stay with me for what I hope will be a fun adventure for us all.
