Long story short: to retweet, simply type RT and the person's handle preceded by the @ sign, then rebroadcast the tweet in question. So if you liked my tweet that said "Linda rocks," you'd format it "RT @vococreative: Linda rocks." To direct message, you must be both following and followed by the person in question. Then you can hit "send direct message" on the button that comes up on their Twitter stream or their name in your stream. For shortened links, try a service like http://bit.ly or http://www.tinyurl.com Hope this helps! Erin Much-belated, Lynda, but yes, we do offer those tips in our course.

Do you offer some of the simple "how to" stuff in your course re: using Twitter? ie. I'd like to jump into more conversations and need to know some basics - how do you direct message someone? (from their follow/home page) how do you re-tweet? how do you get links to appear in a shortened form in a tweet? I realize these are basic questions but I could be having a lot more fun on Twitter if I could figure out how to fully participate :) I welcome your help - you seem good at it!!
