Twitter is a microblogging platform. Blogging has existed for quite some time. Typically, blogging is people creating simple websites on which they write about whatever they choose, such as politics, sports, cookery, fashion, and so on.

Following other people’s Twitter feeds allows users to create relationships. Any comments made by that person or organization will appear on your timeline once you select to follow. By inserting the @ symbol before a person’s username, you can tweet them.

Retweeting is another important feature of Twitter. This is where tweeps, slang for website users, retweet other users’ tweets to their own followers.

Hashtags are used in a lot of Twitter conversations. These are handles that are used to collect tweets regarding the same topic.

For example, if a large number of people were attending a conference and wanted to know what the speakers were saying, they would use the # sign followed by the agreed-upon name to tweet to an agreed-upon hashtag.

Tweets are sent in a split second. A tweet may warn the entire globe of a disaster in seconds.
