Block (B for short): Similar to adding someone to a blacklist, when you block @A, neither of you can see each other’s messages in the Timeline, and you can’t Follow each other. But the blocked person can still directly view your Twitter homepage (such as http://Twitter.com/zetifree) and read your Tweets.
Direct Mesage (DM): refers to the exchange of short messages between users. The premise is that you must follow each other, otherwise you cannot send private messages.
Retweet (RT for short, also known as retweet): refers to forwarding someone else’s message, that is, forwarding someone else’s tweet through your account, so that the original source will be automatically indicated. All your followers can see the forwarded tweet.
Trending Topics (hot tags, hot list): refers to the ranking of hot tags. Under this title, some hot topics currently being discussed among Twitter users are listed. Initially, the most discussed topics in the previous week were listed under “Hot Topics” on Twitter, but now the advanced algorithm has made the scope of “Hot Topics” more precise, and it will list the most recent hot topics. In the recent “Hot Topics”, the topics that thousands of people are discussing intensively at any time on the entire Twitter network are listed. Click “Hot Topics” and a list of tweets will appear to mark the focus of each tweet. Under each hot topic, the most popular tweets will be listed. This kind of tweet has at least 150 retweets and is the most popular tweet. Generally, you can view the hot topics related to yourself on the right side of the homepage.
List: Users can classify friends into business friends or personal friends according to their situations. For example, users can classify all non-profit organizations and charitable organizations into one category for easy viewing. We follow the entire list.
Understanding the characteristic terms of the Twitter platform can help us get familiar with and use Twitter more quickly.
