What is Twitter?
• A micro-blogging community where members post answers to a question, “What are you doing?” in 140 characters or less.
• Explosive Growth
• Source for information, marketing, networking, recruiting & business
![Page 3: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Getting Started
Open a Twitter Account at www.twitter.com
Takes 10 Minutes
![Page 4: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Tweet Network
Specialized "design" page
![Page 5: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Time to Twitter
• First you'll want to set up your profile.• To do that, you'll go to "settings" (not
profile)
![Page 6: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Account• Use your real name• Create a user name symbolic of you
or your business (Unlike LinkedIn, you CAN have more than one profile)
• Use a valid email address (you can always create one in gmail or hotmail just for twitter if you are worried about spam)
• If you have a website, make sure you put your URL in here. (It should help your Google ranking.)
• Great time to define yourself in 160 characters or less for your BIO
• Be honest about your location. • Use English if you know enough of
it.• I suggest NOT protecting your
updates. If you do it will be hard to grow your network. Many people won't bother taking the extra step to follow you.
• Don't forget to hit SAVE
![Page 7: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Passwords• Choose a unique password. There are a lot of
secondary apps (like Tweetdeck) that will ask for your username and password. Don't use the one you use for everything else.
![Page 8: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Devices• This feature
proves your obsession.
• You can have all messages go to your cell, no messages go to your cell, or just DM (direct message) go to your cell.
• You can also specify WHEN you want to get messages.
![Page 9: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Notices
More addictions.
• These are all options to have Twitter send you emails.
• I don’t have any but it’s up to you.

Pictures• Keep thinking
about branding.• Headshot is
best• Many folks use
avatars.• If you are
representing your business use a logo.
![Page 11: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Now you are ready to dive in!
• Start following people, target companies and job posting users
• Start Tweeting (be relevant and give of yourself – or ask questions)

Following
• To do that, write a Tweet with their user names using the @ sign in front of their names.
![Page 15: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Unfollow
• You can always block or unfollow Tweople who do not live up to your expectation
![Page 17: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Favorites
• Favorites is a neat little tool that allows you to "star" your favorite tweets that Twitter will keep in one place for you.
![Page 18: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
@Replies or @Name@Replies or @Name is a
way of grabbing someone's attention on Twitter.
Any time there is a "@" sign
before your name, Twitter will let you know.
This is PUBLIC, so keep
that in mind.
Want to start a conversation without your whole network being dragged into it, use DM (direct Mail) (Only works if they are following you)
![Page 19: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DM – Direct Mail
• Direct Mail allows you to privately converse with another user without giving away your email address. DM's remain private to you and the person you are conversing with.
![Page 20: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
# (Hash) Tags
1. Used as a way to filter / find content for group conversation
2. I.E. #job – to follow what people are saying about jobs right now
3. All you do is include “#” + “letters” in your tweet and it becomes instantly searchable
4. People use # tags for topics – I.e. #career, #followfriday and #sales
![Page 21: Twitter101forjobsearchersrjm 124517690932 Phpapp02](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062704/55577dd3d8b42ad4278b47fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Everyone• "Everyone" lets you see – well - everyone on the Twitter
Network. Not just those following you or those you are following. This is also a good place to start following people. Then NEVER, I repeat never go back again!!!!

• Twitter was meant for people to update statuses– And it is most known as a micro-blogging
platform• YouTube has always meant to be a user-

Governmental updates– Songs with audio and beautiful pictures– If it allows uploading other file formats (zip, rar,
doc, xls), I bet users will
