Mentions (give + get)• Proof that you’re
engaging, not shouting.• Opportunity to show
up in other people’s timelines.
Hashtags• Definition: The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It
was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.
Hashtags: helping you find interesting Tweets• People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize
those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search.
• Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category. E.g. #shipping #jamaica #USMailbox
• Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet.
• Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.

Tracking URLs
