What Is The Difference Between Twitter and Tweet?

pattypeep — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:52:03 GMT

And what does "hashtag" mean? I know it's #, but how do you do it? My dh and I just got smart phones last summer and started texting, but I am wondering about these other social media items. I don't want to take a lot of your time, but just a quick answer will help. TIA

Twitter is the phenomenon and tweets are the messages put out. Tweeting is writing tweets.

Can't help you with the hashtag thing though.

the hashtag marks keywords or topics in a tweet.

you place it before something you want to bring attention to - #likethis

Twitter is just another way of communicating with people -- just like forums and message boards (QVC's for example) are.

Here is a guide that will explain how it works:

I am learning as well...I am not a fan, and prefer the good old tele.

When hashtag became the new I said enough.

Twitter is a website =https://twitter.com/

Tweet is what you type on the Tweeter website.

Twitter = noun

Tweet = verb

Hashtag = way to bookmark or categorize whatever the subject matter is on many sites. If you put the # right before a word, no spaces - like #qvcdiscount, and if others did the same thing in their post, you would be able to search and find all the posts that contain that hashtag. Kind of like a master thread, unconnected to each other, but all would have something to do with that hashtag. Many times the hashtag really isn't being used for it's real purpose, people are using the idea of #isntthiscrazy just to add emotion to their posts and to look cool.

Not sure if it works this way in twitter since I don't use twitter, but using #hashtag in a Facebook post allows everyone to click on the #hashtag to pull up all of the public posts pertaining to the topic of the #hashtag

So, if you post a public photo of your dog, you #hashtag the photo #dog and everyone including yourself can click on the #hashtag and see all the #dog posts. Fun, huh.

Yes, that's where it gets confusing and sometimes annoying, on Facebook anyway...

A hashtag becomes a clickable link in any Tweet. Clicking one will bring up every other Tweet that has used the same hashtag. If many people use the same hashtag, it will become more popular and show up on the Trending page. There are many hashtags that people use every day and some that people make up that only get used once or by a few random people.

Here's an example of how a hashtag can work: The Miss Representation Project has a #NotBuyingIt hastag that people can use to tag a Tweet about sexism in advertising or products. When Marvel released a boys' Avengers t-shirt that read "Be a hero" and a girls' that read "I need a hero," people could Tweet a picture of the shirts with a message about how girls can also be heroes and add the #NotBuyingIt hashtag to get the message out and make it trend.

Hastags help people find each other based on similar interests. Many conservatives on Twitter use the #TCOT hashtag on every post. It stands for Top Conservatives on Twitter and if someone does a search for the hashtag, the person will get all the Tweets tagged with #TCOT and be able to connect with other conservatives they may want to follow on Twitter.

Wow ! Thank you all for the replies. I think I am beginning to understand and will try it out. Sometimes on HLN, they will say to send a reply to #somethingorother and I'd like to perhaps be involved. Thanks again !!

I like to use my twitter acct. to have updates from my local news and weather plus People Magazine too. I have also noticed the ""hashtag"" will lead you the that topic or person's tweet acct.

Twitter is the ""thing""

Tweet (type) is what you do on the ""thing""

Tweets are for birds.

Twitter are for dummies (twits).

Hashtag is the number the kitchen staff uses for your breakfast order.
