The news on twitter is normally real-time news. Some times others come up as trends. What are Twitter Trends? A trend on Twitter refers to a hash tag-driven topic that is immediately popular at a particular time. A hash tag is a keyword or phrase that is preceded with a pound (#) sign, as with #NBAFinals or #USElections. Trends are determined by an algorithm that monitors hot subjects based on who you follow and where you’re located. It presents activity based on real-time hashtag use and not topics that have been popular for a while. In short, what you see on the trending list are more likely related to the topics that matter to you and the online community where you belong. If you’re interested in seeing trends that are not within your network, you can check the Twitter home page, the discover feature or do an active search on the web.

To tweet, just type into the box at the top of your page and hit 'Update' – and you've sent a message to everyone who's following you. Retweeting is tweeting something that someone else has posted; just be sure to attribute what you're reposting properly by crediting the person who tweeted it with an RT in front of it for retweet.

- 7. Trending Topics • lists a range of subjects which many users across Twitter are talking about simultaneously. • When Twitter first got started, "Trending Topics" were those which were most popular during the span of the entire previous week. • But new, more advanced algorithms have now made it easier to detect recent trends, and cite the very latest most-talked-about subjects. • These days, the "Trending Topics" list contains things that thousands of people across the whole of Twitter are discussing at any one time. • Some Trending topics will include hash tags, thus making it easier for users to tap into a Twitter-wide conversation regarding a single matter of interest. • A prime example of the usage of hash tags can be seen with Major League Baseball, which uses team-name hash tags (#Mets, for example) to pull together lists of in-game tweets, which they display on their website. • • • To create a hash tag use the ‘#’ symbol & it will come up as a highlighted text which means its hash tagged. When you click on a Trending Topic in the list, it will bring up a range of tweets, mentioning each matter of interest, and for each Trending Topic there will be up to three 'Top Tweets' highlighted --Those are the tweets in each topic which have been retweeted more than 150 times.

- 9. Sending Direct Messages (DM) • • • • • • • Send DMs DMs are direct messages. They go straight to the intended person that you are messaging. The DM feature uses an inbox and outbox system, but you are still limited to using 140 characters; you are also limited to sending DMs to only those users who follow you. DMs cannot be seen by anyone other than yourself and the chosen recipient, and are more personal. To send a DM, go to the page of the follower you're sending one to, and click on the "Message" box. Be aware that some people really dislike DMs on Twitter because they reason that Twitter is an open conversation and a fast one, not a disguise for sending each other private messages. Also, DMs are not appreciated when they involve marketing or advertising. Some DMs which are sent to you are spam, If you see A link sent to you, do not open it unless you told that person to DM you a link..
- 10. • • • • • • • Followers Gaining Followers: Your Twitter can be as intimate or as big as you choose. If your goal is to gather lots of followers, though, be sure to keep your posts interesting and relevant. You shouldn't underestimate the power of following others, either—often times if you follow someone they'll follow you back. Finally, give your favorite followers shout outs occasionally. This could be through direct tweets, blogs, or a simple #FF (#FollowFriday) mechanism. This is where you tweet a short list of your key followers who you think would be good for others to follow and include the hash tag #FF, they are generally sent out at the end of the week hence the name. This will often be reciprocated, meaning your name gets circulated. However, #FollowFridays are going out of fashion and many commentators question their worth due to their spam-like nature. A simple RT (re-tweet) can be a very effective way of attracting followers. Re-tweets are a real time affirmation of someone else's statement and is often rewarded with a follow. If you join in with follow trains, which is a new trend, you will gain over 100 followers only if you follow the rules. All you have to do is follow people who RT the tweet.
- 11. Verified Accounts • If you see a Celebrity with a blue tick next to their twitter name, then that means it’s their real account. • In June 2008, Twitter launched a verification program, allowing celebrities to get their accounts verified. • Originally intended to help users verify which celebrity accounts were created by the celebrities themselves (and therefore are not fake). • Twitter have verified accounts of businesses and accounts for public figures who may not actually tweet but still wish to maintain control over the account that bears their name.
