How to use Twitter???????????????

[Eric V]

I used to have the same problems. But if you use it a lot, you kinda catch on. The @ sign is when you want to tweet something to someone say, a friend, or a celebrity. You would just put the @ sign and then the person's twitter username. "#" is a hash tag. Hash tags are used with a phrase. If enough people use the hash tag and the same phrase it can become a "trending topic" which is a topic thats popular. You can view the list of trending topics when you log in to twitter. You don't necessarily get notifications since you can't really "comment" on stuff. However, you do get e-mails if someone tweets to you (using the @ sign) or if something you tweet becomes re-tweeted (RT) by someone else. Famous people will most likely not reply. Just imagine how many tweets they must get from fans and haters. They can't possibly read and reply to them all. I hoped this helped
