Learning Common Social Media Terms at Your Apartment in Lady Lake, FL

Social media is part of nearly everyone’s daily life now. We are tweeting our thoughts, updating our Instagram profiles with pictures, reading blogs, and catching up with our friends and family members on Facebook. No matter how much or how little you use it, social media an important part of our society now, and it’s good to understand simple social media terms that people are using.

Here is a list of common social media terms to learn:

Hashtag (#) – Commonly used on Twitter and Facebook to annotate a message. It is used to show that a message is related to a certain topic or keyword.

Blog – A personal website that consists of entries that can be on a single topic or many different ones.

Like – Used on Facebook and Instagram to give positive feedback to a user. On Facebook, “likes” are also used to connect with things you may be interested in, such as a business or a product.

Tweet – A message sent through Twitter.

Retweet – Used on Twitter to repost another user’s message.

RSS Feed – Stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a content delivery vehicle that uses a family of standard web formats to publish frequently updated information, such as blog entries, news headlines, and more.
