Media Twitter Grammar: 10 keys to better read

One of the first things you sacrifice when we have a lot to say and little space is clarity. Classified ads are a classic example. But civilization has been grappling with the issue much earlier.

The Greeks of the time of Socrates, for example, wrote in all caps and no space between words. Their language was prepared to maximize the limited space available. With a little training could fluently read a text that seemed drawn from the most delirious fantasy bolder graphic designer. You can see a sample of this in the Rosetta Stone (the passage in Greek is the one at the base of the stone).

Nothing today helps us in reading was then: Case sensitivity, accent marks, commas, periods, spaces between words and paragraphs were a luxury they could not afford. Moreover, in many monuments is of type text Bustrofedon, ie inserted a line written from left to right with another right to left. It seems strange, but when you must decode a compact jumble of letters and reaches the right end of the line is much easier to drop a line and start from the right to return to the left and possibly confused line.

Abbreviations and ligatures were also common to adjust what I wanted to say to a place that literally, it was hard as stone. In fact, this continued making for centuries and can still be seen in many European churches and monuments.

After centuries of progress, each person now has more space available to publish the entire human race for the birth of Christ. Nothing else thinks that the hard drive of your computer can store the text of many books, stacked, would reach the height of Mount Everest.

was then invented Twitter and its limit of 140 characters. Do you understand? I have praised

limits, all, or nearly, including Twitter, so I will not repeat those concepts here. But the side effects that the Greeks already knew, inevitably, are present in the service of the trills. That is, for the newcomer to Twitter interpret some messages is, at best, impossible. Let

a remedy that with this list of 10 key grammar Twitter.

1. The abbreviation RT means re-tweet, and this in turn means that the message you are reading is not the work of the publisher, but from another person. The public is replicating it, repeating tweeted what someone else wrote. Who? The user whose name appears at first, then the initials RT. For example, if I throw the message rsametband @ RT: I updated the blog a few minutes ago does not mean I updated it, but Ricardo Sametband did. The retweetable is, in short, spread the word.

The difference is not trivial. If you want to ask or comment on what you just read, the first step is to correctly interpret who originated the message and who simply replied. Put it this way: there is little point asking what the weather in Guayaquil only because I just tweeted a message from a friend in Ecuador.

2. However, there is a case that does not mean retweet RT, and when it appears at the bottom. In this position means that we are asking our supporters to replicate the message in their own timelines.

should not abuse this fact should be reserved for cases ends, but you will see every so often when someone is looking for someone (as we saw after the earthquake in Chile) or need help with a problem ugly. In any case, the RT to the message, and variants like porfa RT, RT and RT please please (among many others), is the way to ask that spread the word on Twitter.

3. Anything that starts with a pound symbol (#) is a hashtag or label. But not all actually works as a label tag. Yes, I know, is a bit contradictory, but wait. For example, # FollowFriday is that every Friday we used to recommend people worth following. For example, # FollowFriday @ lntecnologia mean I'm recommending follow tweets lanacion.com technology channel. To save space now used only # FF.

However, the symbol of hashtag (or just plain tag) can be used in an ironic or mocking label to make something that's definitely not worth it. If someone puts # MeDueleLaCabeza have certainly is not a tag, but a wink. Eventually, a wink can become a popular label and function as well as conventional hashtag.

4. The hashtags are no embellishment. They are used to collect the tweets on the subject. Seekers identified as tags and programs allow you to add a column TweetDeck which appear only messages that contain that tag.

5. Someone publish a story that appeared in a newspaper or blog does not necessarily mean adhering to what is said there. If we see an article or a website interesting, we tend to tweeted. That does not mean that we have written or created or that we're promoting. We're just reporting. If we see something that is news, what of charge. It does not mean that we agree with what is happening. We're just spreading the word.

So if you read bad news Twitter is not a good idea to go against that posted. That's called shooting the messenger.

6. If someone on Twitter mentioned do not use your name, but your username on Twitter, if any (if not already, it is unlikely that it be named in the tuitósfera). The username is the one that starts with the @.

Why do we use usernames instead of real names? For just kill three birds with one stone: the person mentioned, we present how to contact you in Twitter, which leads to a profile which contains your real name (or the name by calling itself), and, step, saving characters.

The combination of usernames and expressions hashtags is sometimes tight. For example: @ arieltorres anyone know if the meeting will # Promocion79. Gets red hot this practice when someone lists ten usernames followed by # Buendia. What a way to greet the twenty-first century.

7. The ancient tradition of abbreviations and ligatures, some vinegary condemn as one of the evils of modernity (nothing wrong) are normal in Twitter. Subordinating as they become q, for, in x, of, in d, and so on. Signs of having been required in writing correct English, are over here, and replace if necessary numbers to letters, numbers and the comfortable remove whitespace after semicolons. Of course, you see things as pq (why or why or why) and even abbreviations abbreviations such as HR by HR, as well as the classic TKM.

Where appropriate, case will not and punctuation marks will disappear whenever the phrase can dispense with them without losing or changing the meaning.
Some veterans of the network still use acronyms like LOL (Laughing Out Loud) or BTW (By The Way).

8. Under the circumstances, it was projected, the emoticons are fundamental Twitter. Without them, an ironic phrase can become an insult and a compliment, on offense.

If you do not know the basics, which is no sin on the internet of MSN and Facebook, you can put anything tricky. Here you go: smile, wink, laughter and confusion: S.

9. The seemingly random combinations that appear in some messages, preceded http:// web addresses are shortened. For example, a service like Bit.ly (http://bit.ly) become http://www.lanacion.com.ar/tecnologia address (37 characters) in http://bit.ly/bG4UK3 (20 .) In this case win 17 characters, but there are web addresses that may have more than 140 characters. In all cases, will shorten 20.

Incidentally, those can be written lanacion.com abbreviated by replacing the ln.com.ar web domain followed by a slash and the number of the note. For example, can become http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1293900
http://ln.com.ar/1293900
10. The initials DC o / cc means to copy and is followed by a username. It is a convention, unlike the hashtags and user names, which are active tags. That is, if you click or cc / cc nothing will happen. Rather, they are there to notify the primary receiver (which is quoted at the beginning of the post) we want someone else to pay attention to the message, or simply, as in the example that follows, so that the receiver will not become lost in the relentless time line. Some real examples



not easy to find real examples that use the same time all these rules of morphology and grammar twitterers. Here I found one user @ igcstudios, with whom we post information on # Wine every so often. Note: RT @ AskAaronLee

: Everything you wanted to know about global # Cabernet day in September. 2nd - http://bit.ly/ahU8Q9 rt @ rickbakas / CC @ arieltorres
but the last rt, everything falls within the above ten keys. But the rules are quite lax in Twitter, as expected, and tweeted it is lawful to put the letters in lower case (rt) and at the end of the message, provided they are followed by a username (@ rickbakas).

words, replied icgstudios @ @ AskAaronLee message, and this in turn had replicated the original @ rickbakas, saying

Everything you wanted to know about global # Cabernet day in September. 2nd - http://bit.ly/ahU8Q9 # in # wine # facebook # socialmedia
@ AskAaronLee
When the message said all the text removed from in and added # rt @ rickbakas to record the original source. By the way, # in serving for our tweets appear automatically on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com).

For his part, @ RT @ AskAaronLee icgstudios added before the message (this is an automatic function of the program to use to tweet, in fact) and added to the final / CC @ arieltorres. This reference was to appear in a special column in the program I use to Twitter and, thus, was not lost among hundreds of other messages.

Note that the original message does not use the word cabernet alone, but makes the tag # Cabernet. There is something called Cabernet Day (http://cabernet.eventbrite.com), a day of tasting that will be implemented in media and social networks on 2 September. How do you keep tasting that day on Twitter? Through the label # Cabernet.
