Creating a Public Tweet

*Once you click on the Feather Icon at the top right this screen will appear.

Type your Tweet into the body area.

This number will go down as you type to tell you how many characters you have left.

@ Symbol = Tagging a Handle. Put the @ symbol before typing a name to tag that person and have them get a notice they were tagged.

Example: “@talkingfinger” will be a clickable link to that handle and also send a notification to Talking Finger that they were mentioned in a Tweet.

# Symbol = Hashtag. Anything following the Hashtag is now a “keyword”, a searchable term. This is now guaranteed in search results. Using a Hashtag makes it easier for people to “follow” a conversation about the Hashtag.

Example: Searching #TrueBlood will contain tweets that only have #TrueBlood in it.

Camera Symbol= Upload a photo

Location Symbol= Tell people where this photo was taken. Geo-location.

Using the “@” Symbol

Once you type in the “@” symbol and you start typing you will see a list of choices that will narrow down the more letters you type.

Choose the handle you want to tag here.

Using the “#” Hashtag.

Once you type in the “#” symbol and you start typing you will see a list of choices that will narrow down the more letters you type.

These that appear will be “trending” tweets that will appear first.

Trending tweets are tweets that a lot of people are talking about.

FYI. These are “suggestions” If you type in a word like “#sodabottle” you may not see any results. This is not an issue. The drop down list is only a popular suggestion that has been used recently.
