About Twitter…

Twitter is a social networking tool, accessible from the web or from internet enabled mobile
phones.

“Tweets” are made up of 140 characters. You can tweet your own thoughts or engage with
other people via tweets either using their Twitter username or by way of “hashtags”.

“Follow” people or organisations to receive their “tweets” (updates). Your followers will
receive your tweets. Tweets are updated instantaneously.

You can use tags to follow debates or stories on Twitter e.g. #Libya. On Twitter these are
called hashtags because you put a # symbol in front of the word. You can click on/search for
a hashtag to see all tweets that contain it and you can contribute by adding a hashtag to
your own tweets. You can see the top ten “Trending topics” on Twitter (worldwide and by
country) when logged in, click on any of these to view the related tweets.

There are various internet applications that let you see Tweet Clouds, what the popular topics
are at any given time.

You can share pictures, videos and links via Twitter, there are various applications on the
internet that work in conjunction with Twitter to enable you to do this.
