then others can follow your list

@ = “at reply” or newer “mention” – attach to twitter
names so that person is aware you mentioned them
·
# = hashtag to create a tag for easier search – this is used for
conferences or events going on, so others can search on the single search and
find all the tweets. Eg: #CoNI to see CoNI related tweets or
#HIMSS10 for the most recent conference
