And how do you use them correctly? The Next Web has put together a handy guide to Twitter phrases, including the meaning of these terms. The next time you see a tweet that uses this phrase, it&#8217;s a good idea to look it up. There&#8217;s something to learn about Twitter phrases from the Twitter experts, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subtweet\"><\/span>Subtweet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is a subtweet in Twitter? It&#8217;s an online social phenomenon, associated with Twitter, but popular on many social media sites. A subtweet is a way to throw shade at another user without naming them or the topic at hand. While the intention is to give off the impression of being sarcastic, the effect can be less than what the original poster intended. Below are examples of subtweets and how they&#8217;re used.<\/p>\n<p>A subtweet is a comment made on a person&#8217;s tweet. When using the subtweet feature, you need to make sure the person&#8217;s Twitter ID is public. Alternatively, if you&#8217;re commenting on someone&#8217;s tweet, you can add the @ symbol and then their user name. In this way, the person in question will get an automatic notification. A subtweet will be visible to anyone who has the recipient&#8217;s Twitter ID.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subtweet_vs_subtweeting\"><\/span>Subtweet vs subtweeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While tweeting and subtweeting have become commonplace, there are some important differences between the two. Essentially, subtweeting is speaking behind someone&#8217;s back, and it has a range of negative implications. While it&#8217;s an easy way to spread information on Twitter, subtweeting can also be hurtful and cause anxiety in your audience. It&#8217;s important to use subtweeting wisely to avoid these issues.<\/p>\n<p>While tweeting is more direct and personal, subtweeting is more public and may be done with more intent. For example, it&#8217;s easier to spread false information when people don&#8217;t know you. Also, you can&#8217;t name people when subtweeting. While this is a good thing for spreading misinformation, it doesn&#8217;t have the same etiquette as offline interactions.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to vent your frustrations to friends or followers, you can use subtweeting. This way, you can change someone&#8217;s behavior without confronting them directly. However, frequent mean subtweeting is generally considered bad Twitter etiquette. If you don&#8217;t know how to subtweet properly, you should consider subtweeting only when you&#8217;re sure you can make it work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tweetstorm\"><\/span>Tweetstorm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is a tweetstorm? A tweetstorm is a sequence of related tweets. The most intriguing tweet is often buried deep in the twitterstorm. This is because writing often follows a logical order, making it difficult for readers to sift through a lengthy post to find it. The best tweetstorms have a hook to capture attention and get readers interested enough to read more. A tweetstorm&#8217;s hook is also the part of the tweetstorm that will most likely be retweeted.<\/p>\n<p>Some people may question the level of Islamophobia in the media, saying it&#8217;s limited to specific figures in media and that far-right attitudes originate from extreme sources. This thread challenges many of these assumptions. The first tweet could have been more subdued, but it&#8217;s the distilled version of the entire argument, which is extremely powerful in the current discourse on Islamophobia. In other words, it&#8217;s the perfect tweetstorm to start a conversation about an issue.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unfollow\"><\/span>Unfollow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unfollow in Twitter is a simple but effective way to stop following those you find annoying, negative, or offensive. You can use it to block such accounts and keep your feed cleaner. Here are some tips for using Unfollow in Twitter. Followers should first unfollow you first before you unfollow them. This will ensure that you are only following those who you think are worthy of following you back. After unfollowing someone, you can follow them again to continue the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>You cannot trace people who unfollow you on Twitter retrospectively. You need to be vigilant and keep track of the list of people you follow on a daily basis. Unlike Facebook, Twitter does not notify you every time a person unfollows you. However, if you monitor your followers on a daily basis, you&#8217;ll be aware when someone follows you back. The simplest way to do this is to mouse over the &#8220;Following&#8221; button and press the Unfollow button. You can also mute a user&#8217;s account by clicking on it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"208\" width=\"372\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jWNpLvdocU\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the D Word in Twitter?
