Feed: the stream of tweets seen on your homepage
Handle: your username
Mention (@): A way to reference another user by his handle
Direct Message (DM): A private short message between two users
Hashtag (#): A way to denote a topic in a larger linked discussion, or for a group chat type tweet sequence.
