Susan: Okay, I’ll try to work up a TweetDeck post. Would love to know what kind of questions you have about it. I don’t consider myself an expert using it–just kind of mulling my way around it.

Barbara, Barbara, Becky, and Joan: I’m glad you found this helpful. Some things we just take for granted if we’ve been using something for awhile. I remember the “geek conference” I attended last fall when everyone was introducing themselves by their Twitter names: “Hi, I’m @abstanfield.” Wigged me out. Then, we were given a hashtag to use so we could tweet about each presentation. That was the first I’d ever heard of hashtags. I was a fish out of water.

I knew some of this, (not saying “I already know that!), but this has clarified how to go about searching things more easily. Very helpful! Thanks.

I’m going to have to print this one out Alyson, because I don’t think I can remember these instructions. Thanks so much for explaining.

Take care,

Barbara

Thanks, Alyson. I’ve been groping my way around Twitter, and have read a number of articles explaining what’s what. Yours is the first that actually addresses two of my main sources of confusion (# and @) and how to use them. And I understood it!
