People who are interested in your tweets can follow you and they will be able to see and share your tweet. Promote your account with students and faculty. Post it on your website, other social media accounts, and use it on your promotional materials.
要将您的信息传播给更广泛的受众，请关注和提及与您相同兴趣的其他帐户。如果您看到一条推文认为可能是追随者的兴趣，请转发（RT）。转发是与您的追随者分享某人的推文。在 @符号上放置用户名，这意味着您正在回复该用户，他们将能够看到您对推文的答复。
You can also include a hashtag in your tweet. A hashtag is a word or phrase with a # sign before the word. A hashtag is used when you want to be part of a conversation. Hashtags organize specific tweets in a central location. When you use it, all the other tweets with the same hashtag will be displayed in twitter’s search engine. Your tweet will be more likely to be retweeted and spread when a hashtag is used.
