I want you to try the two kinds of retweets on Twitter. Do two using the retweet button and two using the RT method where you copy a tweet, put RT in front of the user, and add your own commentary and the #webpub hashtag. And while you are at it, if you use a smartphone, download a Twitter app of some sort. For iPhone, I just use the basic Twitter app. For Android, a popular app is Carbon. There are a lot more apps out there, like HootSuite, Echofon or Tweetbot (iOS). Twitter is a lot more fun if you can tweet on the go.
On your Twitter account – make sure you have a photo and a professional description on your profile. We’ll discuss the new people you have added as followers this week.
Write a blog post telling about:
- Your experience tweeting, and
- What app you used if you did the exercise from your phone.
If you have not included links AND images on your past blog posts, go back and add them. Don’t lose points on that part of your grade.
By the way, with questions about embedding YouTube, here is a link that has some helpful info http://en.support.wordpress.
