What is a Mention?
A way to interact with other Twitter users.
@Mentions
Using @ and a Twitter username, you can send a message to another user.
Used for: Tagging Giving credit Sharing information Replying
Here’s the tricky part: Using @username
within a Tweet, is public. Anyone who follows you will see it.
Using @username as the very first characters in a Tweet make it semi-private. Only those who follow you both will see it in their timelines, but anyone can find it in a search.
Examples!
What is a direct message?
