Twitter Terminology

once I started using Twitter, and now Google+, I noticed it used words and symbols I never used before. Heres an explanation of some of the more commonly used terms!


Tweet: The act of posting a message on Twitter
Retweet: . The act of forwarding another user's Tweet to all of your followers.
@: When a username is preceded by the @ sign, it becomes a link to a Twitter profile.
# (hastag) : used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet.
+1: implies that you agree with the previous or referenced comment. It is the Google+ way that you would "like" something on Facebook.
