allowed in a tweet.• @ before a Twitter name to mention someone• # (hashtag) – could be a theme of the tweet.• RT = “retweet” (giving someone credit)• Need to put a link – use http://tinyurl.com/
• Twitter can be used for the following:– Allows for two way communicating, enabling conversations,
collaboration and networking– Use their privacy settings to manage who will see your
updates– Ability to send urgent prayer requests, meeting changes, etc.– Great way to remind those about a ministry deadline or
project– Use Twitter to share Bible verses and daily devotionals
(retweet verses from @Daily_Bible)– Follow people to receive up to date information.– Shorten your web link through http://tinyurl.com/
