Why use twitter?
You shouldn’t graduate with a
comm degree if you don’t know
how to use Twitter
Important to enter workforce with
a Twitter presence
Consider having two accounts
One professional, one for fun
Twitter basics
Retweets = RT
Modified retweets = MT
Favorite = let’s tweeter know you saw it
Sharing includes link to
article/video/whatever you want to share
www.bit.ly creates short links, allows
tracking
Adding #hashtag will increase exposure
Twitter basics
Hashtags allow users to have
conversations about common themes
#BerryCom
Starting a tweet with a @handle means
only people that follow you and that
person will be able to see tweet
So, you don’t have to clog up your twitter
feed with hashtag-specific comments
.@mattjduffy dresses uber-sharp!
