Comment: Twitter Lingo - Twitter, the popular microblogging website, continues to grow every day. With millions of users, Twitter has become the go-to platform to exchange information and get real-time updates with many things going on in the world. The usage of Twitter in the immigration law community is also exploding; immigration law attorneys, professionals, advocates, students and elected officials are joining the conversation. It is time for you to join as well! The first step is to create a Twitter account. Sign up here. Then, start to follow other Twitter-ers (your "following"), and others will start to follow you (your "followers"). Before you start "tweeting", you should get familiar with some lingo used on Twitter. To mention other Twitter-ers in your message, simply write "@" followed by their username. For instance, if you want to mention ILW.COM, just add "@ilwcom" in your tweet. If you like what a fellow Twitter-er said, and you want to forward it to your followers, you can re-tweet or "RT" the message. Simply add the letters "RT" and the original Twitter-er's username to the tweet. For example, you can re-tweet one of our tweets by saying: "RT @ilwcom:..." Another useful symbol in Twitter is the hashtag, which is represented as "#". Hashtags are keywords or trending topics, which allow your tweet to show up on search queries and are also used to categorize messages. For example, if your tweet is about the DREAM Act, you can add "#dreamact" to your tweet and it will come up in queries and also will help make the DREAM Act a trending topic in Twitter. RTs, mentions, and hashtags are the main symbols in Twitter. We hope you can start using them soon, and don't forget to follow us on Twitter.
