5. Learn how to @reply and RT…
An @reply is a message you send to a specific person that everyone else on
Twitter can see too. It’s like talking to one person in a crowded room so
other people can eavesdrop on your conversation.
RT stands for retweet, if you
see a message you want to

Button.

add @EXN_UK and it will
appear in our feed, and be seen by anyone that follows us.

A direct message or DM is a private tweet that only the person
you’re sending to can see. You can only DM someone who’s
following you and can only receive DMs from people you
follow.

the users you wish to send a message to.
7. Understand what a Chat is
Chats are conversations on Twitter on a
specific, planned topic that happens at
a selected time and day or date.
Twitter chats are a bit like people
congregating at the same time to
talk about a subject on Twitter.
Chats are based on the same 140-character tweets you use for
other Twitter communications, including a specific #.
8. We will be using a # for our Twitter Chats, a # allows
us all to follow a specific subject. Do a search for
#datasecurityuk
# hashtag
9. A hashtag chat is a way of organising a conversation so
that anyone on Twitter can follow, join, and contribute.
It centres around a single hashtag
Simply add to your Tweets and questions on each day.
We will use #datasecurityuk so to join in please add this
to your tweets on that day.
If you have a question now … go ahead ask it and we will
answer it on the day and include you in the answer.
