Here is the primer for readers who don’t yet use Twitter.com.
- Sign up for Twitter.
- Explore, look up some categories and follow some people.
- @loyaltytraveler is how you reply to someone or locate tweets mentioning a specific member on Twitter.
- #SanFrancisco is what is called a hashtag. This is how you can search topics where a keyword or name may not be so effective. For instance #tbex is a hashtag for people discussing the Travel Blog Exchange 2011 conference happening in Vancouver June 11-12. (note: earlier version of this post used #tbex11, but it does not seem the date is being used.)
