Culture of Twitter
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The culture of social-media platform Twitter includes:
- the use of hashtags to create and perpetuate Twitter/social-media trends
- amplifying messages by retweeting or by responding to them
- bringing attention to certain people/accounts by atting ("@-ing") them using the at sign ("@")
- creating threads to share longer messages, as single tweets have a character limit
- shortening URLs to accommodate character-count limits and to track reach and referrals
- the introduction of jargon, such as:
- Milkshake Duck, an initially (seemingly) endearing person who turns out to be flawed;
- problematic fave, a celebrity or other influential person whose popularity is impervious to offensive or statements
- Meltdown May, a series of erratic social-media posts in the month of May.[1]
- sub-communities such as:
- "getting ratio-ed," wherein a tweet gains more (unsolicited) comments than it does likes and/or retweets, typically indicating the unpopular/controversial nature of that tweet.[2]
