im so confused about twitter...how does it work!? - Ungratefulcactus882 - 10-14-2012 06:30 AM
ok so basically, i got a twitter to follow my favorite NBA players. i don;t really plan on tweeting myself and making my own tweets, but i would like to connect with players.
what do the @ signs mean?
is it possible for an nba player to reply to me? how does a player follow ME?
i'll give you an example on another thing im confused on...
Nate_Robinson

#'s are hashtags, a way of categorizing tweets. People can search for hashtags and find every tweet with that hashtag on it.
Edit: Whoops, my # didn't show up for some reason.
@ signifies a reply. @BowWow means the person who sent the tweet is responding to a tweet from BowWow.
