You’ve set up an account but are still confused? We will help. Here are some common Twitter terms and what they mean.

HashTag – Hashtags are used in Twitter in order to easily find tweets on a particular subject. Hashtags are done by entering # before a word. The official hashtag for Ilta related tweets is #Ilta09. To test, type #ilta09 in the search bar in Twitter. You can then read all of the tweets regarding #Ilta09 and follow others that will be at Ilta. For our contest tweets, we will use two hashtags: #ilta09 and #iltaND

Mobile Alerts – For the best chances to win prizes, turn on Twitter “mobile alerts.” To do this, follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to Settings — Devices
  2. Follow the steps given to activate your mobile phone and turn device updates on
  3. Go to www.twitter.com/netdocuments and click on “device updates off”
  4. Turn mobile alerts to “on” and you will receive text message updates of all contest posts

ReTweet – To retweet is to rebroadcast a tweet sent by another user. For example, if NetDocuments were to send a tweet saying, “Excited for #ilta09.” The retweet would look like this: “RT @netdocuments Excited for #Ilta09″

With these tools in hand, you should be all set to win prizes at Ilta09.
