Hi,
Replying to a tweet, preferably one that mentions two or more users, using the
Qube: Press ctrl+win+r on the tweet being replied to; And Now press shift+tab.
Activate the mention All users button with either PSPACEBAR or ENTER. Now a t
the top of your tweet you'll see all of the mentioned users.

Hello Flor,
Please what's the mention all users' feature? How do you access it?
Thank you.

Hi Tony,
Who's 'them'? If you know who they are, mention the unfortunates in your
tweet by putting an 'at' sign before each Twitter user name, (either within the
tweet itself or by using the 'mention all users' feature). Then, in time,
they'll get it. Now, you can't force people to read or search for your tweet if
they're not inclined to.

Ah Flor!
"Twitter police" but you want to know if your tweet of 140 characters sage
of wisdom reaches them, :) .
Okay you are given a BBC programme to tweet and they say BBCAQ
and use the hashtag Radio 4!
So #radio 4 is to put Radio 4 up there for hashtagging for folk searching.
So you tweet: BBCAQ and in your tweet type in #radio 4, am I correct.
Have more looking up to do of Twitter but can see now why it's really so
powerful either for fun, business and all of that and other.
Oh, a tweet I got recently:
@tony_sweeney My Twitter learning tutor says that folk on Twitter take
Twittter far too seriously, Smile.

Tony,
if they are on Twitter, then if they want to be contacted they should
encourage use of RTEDriveTime or whatever their Twitter handle is, immediately
preceded by the 'at' sign. The main purpose of using hashtags is to attract
attention. In theQube You can also do a ctrl+win+slash search followed by the
term or phrase, without using a hashtag. The Twitter police are not looking
over your shoulder!

Perhaps it's more accurate to do a search with #2014 by hitting control
win
and / or to find info of a book or whatever you want yourself.
Say you want to contact a radio station for example you would then use
control win and n to create a new tweet and then type in say #rtedrivetime
for example and then your message.
Trust I got all that right now but if not please feel free to advise
otherwise.
Tony

It was of course Flor The Qube that I indeed meant.
Going back in time am I instead of forwardd, :)
I intend learning more of Hashtags and perhaps may be in a position to
post
my progress here soon.
Think that you can hashtag almost anything you like?
I learnt that you must first create a tweet before doing the #2014 for
example.
Perhaps we may see a mini-tutorial from Paul T or other on these
matters.
Best for the year,
Tony Sweeney

Hi Ayoola,
There's an updated version of Qwitter (mentioned by Tony in another
message) called TheQube - that's Qube (with a q). It's available from
www.quartzprojectsz.co.uk >,
and it enables you to follow friends and track them, as well as track
your followers. it is a GUI-less app, and is operated by the Windows
and
ctrl keys in combination with arrow and cursor keys, and some times
with
the shift and the alt key. You begin a new tweet in it with
ctrl+Windows+n, and type your 140-or-less characters. Then press ENTER
to SEND. Retweeting and replying/mentioning are also provided for.
There
is also a friendly "Keystroke manager" - got by pressing ctrl+Win+k -
which gives you a list of the keystrokes and describes their
functions.
TheQube is a computer Twitter client. The ReadMe file is good, being
largely based on that of the now-moribund Qwitter client. What I like
about Twitter is that you don't have to say any more than you want or
have to! And you can unfollow people you may decide aren't worth
following. 'People' can also mean organisations and/or groups.
many newspeople and journalists/reporters use Twitter.

Hello and happy new year all,
You might have become tired of facebook in the last 12 months if you
are like me who takes time to craft what I consider a well-thought-out
post only not to get any comment and maybe one or two likes from a
friend list of about 700 facebook users.
I was discussing my frustration with a very close friend (both in real
life and on facebook) and she suggested twitter as a better platform
for me to be heard and improve my reputation.
Now, the thing is, I’m not new to twitter; I’ve used the standard
twitter web site both on my PC and on my Symbian phone for about four
years. I’ve even used twitter through EasyChirp – easychirp.com and
easychirp.org – as well as Tweetcaster and Tweetings for Twitter –
both apps on android.
But then, I know there’s much more beyond composing 140-character
tweets. You must be able to and be ready to follow treads to your
tweets, reply publicly and sometimes privately, among other things.
How can a person who is totally blind be effective in all of these and
even more required to be a success on twitter? I will be glad to know
of your recommendations of ways to improve my understanding and use of
twitter – including learning from web sites, books and other sources.
Thank you.
