Do You Really Know How to Tweet? The @ system explained by Gary Vaynerchuk (Video)

Do you realize that most of your tweets may not reach all of your followers?  Whenever you put “@name” in the beginning of your message you’re only sending a message to that person and a few select followers.  The only people who can see that message are those that follow you AND that person you mentioned.

If you want to make sure your message reaches ALL of your followers, put something in front of the “@” symbol.  A Period, quotations, anything will work.  Watch the clip by Gary Vaynerchuk below:

    Hey that’s really cool to know. What if we start it with RT @blogengage does it work the same if I was typing @bbrian017 I’m just wondering because mush of the default code is RT @blogengage or RT @bbrian017 I guess what I’m asking is does this rule apply if I add the RT or does it have to start with @blogengage
