Weird Characters in Facebook


I've had a few questions about Facebook updates, so I thought I would let everyone know. I use my Palm Pre to update and monitor Twitter. When I update Twitter, it then proceeds to update Facebook.


A few definitions in Twitter: 
  1. RT = ReTweet. Basically forwarding a message from someone else in order to spread the word even more.
  2. The "@" references from whom the original Twitter post came from. @MayorSlay = Mayor Francis Slay of St Louis City, @FOX2now = Fox 2 News, @BillCosby = The man from the Cosby Show, @gliyeos = Rock Hill City administrator George Liyeos.   
    Basically for @'s just got tohttp://www.twitter.com/?, where the ? is the name after the @ sign.
  3. Is the "#" symbol. This is a way of tagging a post in twitter so that other people can participate in the discussion. #rhlmo = City of Rock Hill, MO.
Hope that helps everyone.
If there are questions, post them here so I can let everyone know the answers.
