How to Use Twitter: Critical Tips for New Users

I want to talk about Twitter.   https://www.wired.com/2016/05/twitter-onboarding-tips-for-new-users/

Some of you use it and like it. Some of you have an account but you don't really 'get it.' Others are thinking Sally is going to push the Chatroom envelope again.

If you do not have a Twitter account, go ahead and get your feet wet and open one before chat. If you do have Twitter and you haven't used it for a long time, blow the dust off your password and log on in. The rest of you, please oh please, come to chat and help me out!

Twitter is where news is broken, links are shared, and memes are born. It’s also a place for chatting with friends. Yet unlike Facebook, Twitter is public. So if you do tweet with friends, it’s all out in the open by default. And that’s not a bad thing. It means your jokes can go viral (if they’re funny) and in addition to your friends, you can interact with your favorite journalists, athletes, artists, or political figures, all in the same space.

If there is time after the topic workshop, we will open the room for any questions you may have.
