4. Tweet: your tweet is your message. 280 characters.
Seen by a: your followers who happen to be online at
the time and b: anyone who happens to look at your
profile, and potentially c: by the followers of anyone
who ReTweets it.
ReTweet: if you RT someone else’s tweet, it will appear
in your timeline and your followers can see it. Being
ReTweeted yourself is a really good thing – it means your
ideas are being exposed to new networks.
Quote Tweet: Retweet with Comment

5. Hashtag: a #hashtag is a way to bring
together disparate users on the same
topic, without the tweets needing to
know each other already.
Hashtags can also be a way to archive
conversations on a theme, and discuss
events or conferences.
You can click on any #hashtag and find
all recent tweets which have included
it. This is the best way to tweet
around a specific module (or academic
topic).
