Twitter question

Post by tiznow »

I recently opened a twitter account. I have a question regarding twitter lingo. I figured out @ and #, but what does RT mean?

Thanks.

Who cares if Shaun figured out how to use Twitter.

More importantly - Does Erin Twitter? 8-)

It appears Shaun doesn't twitter anymore. It was cool he followed some of us AZZers. I sent him a tweet a few hours ago and since then he closed his account. Probably doesn't want to and definitely doesn't need to deal with the idiots out there.

Wow, he just tweeted a few days ago. Disappointing.

It looks like the @shaunsuisham could have been a fake account. Might have been the same person posing as Kevin Bieksa.

Maybe. He only had a handfull of tweets and nothing out of the ordinary.
