How does Twitter work?

[Sweetgrl007]

I've been signed up for about 9 months and I don't use it much. More & more of my friends are on it. I'd like to join the Twitter Nation. lol What does @ mean? When do you use #? How do you reply or comment to someones Twit? I know this might sound like a stupid question but don't leave mean comments. I truly want to Twitter the correct way. HELP, HELP me someone

Well, you can search for other twitterers by using the search box or browse other Twitter users and choose to ‘follow’ their tweets if you wish (that’s all what Twitter is about – following others and getting others to follow you). Let me be your first friend on Twitter – Follow me. You can make your tweets private or public and even send messages direct to other twitterers, as opposed to publicly posting yours.
That’s all! Pretty simple I know… That should clarify all your questions and dilemmas about how Twitter works.

@ Is When you are Mentioning Someone in a Tweet Thats How you Mention Someone Just Like Facebook And the # Is Used to Indentify a Topic For Example if im Tweeting about Fashion i Would Tag it like this #Fashion and When People Click on it you Can See Other Tweets Talking about that Same Thing To Reply to Someone Go to The Tweet Click on Reply
