Improve your Twitter conversation with Microsyntax

By A Bisht

Some of the microsyntax that you use in your Twitter 140-character messages are:

RT at the beginning of the message for retweeting someone else’s tweet.

@username for replying publicly to another user or just referring to the particular user.


# for showing your tweet or retweet in searches for the specific topics.That's if you want your tweet to appear in the search results related to your tweet content, then prefix your tweet with a #.


But Twitterverse is a fastly evolving space. So keeping up with the changes in Twitter communicatication proves to be difficult sometimes.

To assist you in this, Stowe Boyd will be launching Microsyntax.org tomorrow (27 May 2009).
