21 Conversations on Twitter— The Basics @ mentions: Creates a link to that person’s Twitter profile in your tweet; and Ensures that the person will see the tweet because Twitter notifies that person when he or she is “mentioned.” 132

22 Conversations on Twitter— The Basics @ replies: Clicking the “reply” button under a tweet automatically starts your next tweet, addressing whoever sent it. It also will allow you to follow a conversational string. 134

23 Conversations on Twitter— The Basics RT (retweet): Sending a RT or retweet is the act of sharing somebody’s tweets with people who follow you. 135

24 Conversations on Twitter— The Basics # (hashtag): Hashtags are a way of organizing discussion topics Enjoying the #canucks game #hockey 135

25 Twitter Do’s Complete your bio with a link to your blog or Web site Start conversations Find and connect with local users and/or people Share valuable information Respond when people send you @ messages or Direct Messages 136

26 Twitter Don’ts XSpam people by sending them with @ messages to follow your links. XUse automatic direct messages. XProtect your tweets. (Otherwise, how will you meet new people?) XTalk only to fellow real estate practitioners. 136
