I'm well into it now. It's basically a newsfeed for people you actually give a fudge about hearing from. Recommended people to follow? I follow the sports journos. Loads of spurs players, fighters politics, comedians. It's great!!
 
I have twitter and have the likes of Thudd etc but what I do not get is

What is a retweet? What is a hash tag for?

Basically I dont know what the terminology used for twitter all mean. Anyone got a user guide to assist?
 
Hash tags can be for several things. Makes it easier to search for tweets on a particular subject. Sometimes used for humorous effect.
 
# tags are used to associate your tweet with others on a similar subject.

Example "today it's not raining for once" #weather will link your tweet with others commenting and using a similar hashtag.

That way if people search for 'weather' on twitter they will see your tweet linked to that hashtag.

ahhh ok like themes... interesting

so if I type in weather - I will get a whole raft of tweets which are relevant
 
Journos must love twitter. It fills their day with "work" and provides them with crap for their "articles".
