• Step 3: Complete the four questions:• “Full Name”: This is your real name and it is
searchable and visible.• “User Name”: This is the name people will use to

you allow it).

YOUR PROFILE
• Name:• The “full name” you entered upon registration• Can be anything you’d like it to be
• Location:• Can either be dynamic or static• Helps to build a sense of localization and community
• Web:• The primary non-Twitter destination of your choice• Often includes websites, blogs, LinkedIn profile, etc.
• Bio:• You have 160 characters to include anything you’d
like.• Think of this as your Twitter resume
THE BASICS
• “Tweet”• Refers to a single message• “Tweeted” – Can be a verb (alternate use is “Twittering”)
• Following/Followers• When you “follow” someone, their tweets will appear in your
timeline• When they “follow” you, your tweets will appear in their
timeline
• @[username]• This is how you communicate directly with someone on
Twitter• It’s also how you see who’s been communicating with you• “I had a great time @phra!” would be seen by:
• All my followers• @phra account holder• Anyone who searches “phra”…
THE BASICS PART II
Reply• Used to respond to an individual user’s tweets• Simply click on the “Reply” button available after each
tweet
Direct Messages• The private messaging platform of Twitter (not searchable)• Only effective if both parties are following one another• Referred to as “DM” or “Dming” someone
Retweets• Used when you’d like to broadcast someone’s tweet to
your followers• Two options:
• 1) You can click on the “Retweet” button available after each tweet
• 2) You can highlight the message and copy and paste it into your “What’s happening?” field
• Typically appears as – “RT @[username] [tweet]”
MORE ADVANCED CONCEPTS
• Hashtags• A method of tagging a concept, theme, or event
within a tweet• Appears as – “#[hashtag]”
• For example, the PHRA conference hashtag was “#PHRA”
• Each Thursday night a radio program called “#HRHappyHour” is held
• If clicked on, triggers a Twitter search for all tweets containing that hashtag
• Commonly used to drive community, affinity, and collaboration
ETIQUETTE: REMEMBER – IT’S ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
• Be authentic• Be real and remember to
think before you tweet!• Attempt to stay professional
at all times• Like email, tweets can be
misinterpreted without contect.
• Followers• Don’t feel obliged to
follow everyone who follows you (VALUE)
• Seek a balance in your following –to- follower ratio
• Don’t be afraid to “unfollow” someone (for any reason)
