According to the official Twitter Help Center a mention is "any Twitter update that contains "@username" anywhere in the body of the Tweet".
Users will often see hundreds or thousands of tweets a day in their Twitter feed. Mentioning a user in your tweet means they will be able to see it in their "@ Connect" section on the top of the Twitter page.
You would usually mention a user if you are directing the Twitter update (tweet) to that specific user OR you want them in particular to see this tweet.
If you include more than one @username in your tweet, all of those users will see the Tweet in their "@ Connect" section.
Mentioning a person means you include their username in your tweet. This is in the form of '@username'
To mention someone on Twitter, type @ followed by the person's username.
For example - @myusername
you press reply....
you mean the person who's twitter you searched up? if so, they can't=]
Compose a tweet and mention them in it.
Well first what you do is go on your friends facebook, and then you press comment, and then you write the message on your friend's wall.
There are lots of different variations of what it could mean. Not one definition is widely used on Twitter. You should ask the person you seen use it what it means.
It means they aren't stalking you. Congrats!
TT means 'trending topic'. A trending topic is what the people on Twitter are mostly talking about.E.G. Person On Twitter: Puppies are cute!Another person: Puppies are cute!Then, if many people say that, it will show on the side of your Twitter page.Hope this helps! (:
Yes, you can actually know if someone retweet or mention you in twitter. It is a default feature in twitter and every tweeple (twitter people) can know who followed and mentioned them.
No. Only people that person is following are the ones from who she gets updates. If you mention the person's username preceded by an at, your tweet will appear at the user's mentions page.
It means it is owned by more than one person.
It means you can't see that person's tweets unless they say you can
You are now receiving updates to the account of the person you're "following" through your own twitter feed. You can read messages that person sends out to the Twitter world on your own page rather than having to go to theirs.
