3. Making the most of Twitter
Making your tweet’s effective is not about spelling and grammar… it is about
audience, signposting and visibility.
# #hashtags identify the subject/context of your tweet. They allow you to join in
particular conversations – you can easily click on a #hashtag to see
everyone else currently using the same #hashtag.
Very useful for: specific topics, scheduled discussions, conferences
Eg#OAWeek, #phdchat, #vitae12
url If you are talking about something you wish people to see, something you
have found or something you want opinions on… include a link to where they
can find it!!!
Twitter will automatically shorten most urls, although can still be tricky. Use
something like http://tinyurl.com/ or https://bitly.com/ if you are having
problems shortening a url down enough
@ Use @ and their username to mention someone in your tweet. You can use
this to flag something for their attention, reply to something they have said or
to promote them to others. Important to engage with other twitter users – not
just post information.
