Page 30: Social Media 101 for Nonprofits

Twi9er  -­‐  DefiniKons  �  Tweet  -­‐  When  you  hit  send  on  your  140  characters  on  twi9er  it’s  called  a  tweet  or  tweeKng  �   Handle  –  your  Twi9er  name  @GibbonsDigital  –  balance  short  with  descripKve.      �  Follow  –  this  is  simply  the  act  of  adding  someone  to  your  list  of  people  you  are  following  –  this  

makes  their  tweets  show  up  on  your  homepage.    �  Replies  –  this  is  what  it  is  called  when  someone  writes  a  tweet  directly  at  your  handle  -­‐

author  stays  in  tact,  but  you  are  basically  showing  someone’s  tweet  to  your  followers  –  many  people  find  this  a  great  way  to  add  content  and  acknowledge  good  stuff  from  the  folks  they  follow    

�  DM  –  this  is  a  message  that  is  sent  directly  to  another  user.  They  must  be  following  you  for  you  to  DM  them,  but  this  is  a  very  useful  tool  for  private  messages  and  generally  a  good  choice  when  you  start  going  back  and  forth  with  someone  on  something  your  enKre  base  of  followers  might  not  find  interesKng.    

�  Hashtag  –  this  is  a  way  people  categorize  tweets  so  that  others  might  use  the  same  tag  and  effecKvely  create  a  way  for  people  to  view  related  tweets  –  it  will  something  like  #markeKng  –  more  on  this  in  search.
