26. Jumping In Retweet a tweet Tweet a link Reply to a tweet Tweet your own tweet! This is the most welcoming community, but it does take time to build. Don’t be upset if your first few (or more than few) tweets go unnoticed. Try replying to people first, adding a hashtag or mention, or joining a chat. (Craig, M., 2015; @mathymeg07)
