I’ve been using twitter and now I like to be with twibes, with common interest in mind. I need to communicate more with twitters and thanks for the information and good luck.

I didn’t know what hashtags were until a couple of days ago. I didn’t join Twitter and didn’t know how to tweet until about a month ago. Tonight – I had no idea what the heck a Twibe was. Now I know. Thanks for the post.

I’m so glad you wrote about this. I’ve been seeing other twitter-ers using hashtags and assumed it was a way of collecting tweets by subject. The idea of twibes is appealing from both a general social viewpoint and also as way to communicate to certain groups of people. I have clients who follow me, and twibes are what I’d need to set up for different aspects of my practice – criminal defense vs. dui, etc.

Thanks for clearing up the Twibes and Hashtags. It’s hard to keep up with all the social networking changes.

For some reason the link settings in CSS get mixed with my Explorer and Firefox automatic link settings. And when I set a color in CSS, then the Explorer or Firefox will still show a purple color link forum rum türkiye

Well, it seems to be a big hit with twitter lovers and users. Time to start my own group.

I like Twibes, generally, but it’s not the way I forsee grouping working for Twitter in, say, 5 years.

1) I want an internal group function – something that doesn’t require me to leave Twitter.com or whatever app I’m using as a UI (currently Tweetdeck). Groups should be an included function within the site, because like you said, hashtags alone don’t fully cover this need.

2) I don’t like the name Twibes. It’s a good idea, and kind of a funny pun, but I’m not going to reach out to a business associate or prospect and say: “hey, join our Twibe for more information!” It sounds like I’m trying to sound like a small child.

I’m confused. I just joined a twibe and above my tweet box it read ‘Tweets must include tag(s): shortsale Next search in 20s… ‘
and so I typed “#shortsale” first and then my tweet. Which is correct? Do I use # or not?
Thanks,
Twitter newbie
