- @Username - Use it to connect to a specific person, account, or organization.
- #Hashtag - Use it to connect with a specific idea, group, or event.
- Twitter shortens website links automatically, but you can still use other sites for even shorter links.
- Pictures posted in twitter will show up under your profile, some apps (Hootsuite, etc...), may appear as links without a preview.
