Once you get the hang of posting status updates to your public timeline through TwitterNeni, a whole new world of creative communications opens up! But what may not be so obvious is that you can also address messages to user directly, or send a note to another Twitter member privately.

Power user techniques

Sending Mentions

Start your tweet with the '@' symbol, followed by the Twitter user's handle
(Example: @txtneni Hi there! TwitterNeni rocks!!!)

Sending Direct Messages

Start your tweet with a 'D', followed by the Twitter user's handle. However, sending DMs requires that your recipient follow your account.
(Example: D txtneni This is a secretive message that will only be seen by us!)

Using #hashtags

Mark keywords in your tweet with a hash '#' symbol to allow them to be listed on hashtags.org. Hashtags give your content and conversations deeper meaning, grouping them with other tweets using the same hashtags. The only requirement is that you follow the @hashtag Twitter user, which follows you back automatically. (Find out more about Twitter hashtags.)

Facebook integration

If you're on Facebook (and who isn't these days?) you can use TwitterNeni to update your status, too! Seriously! Just enable the Twitter app from within Facebook, and every time you post a tweet your Facebook activity stream will be updated in parallel, automatically! (This works whether you use TwitterNeni or not...but it's still cool when you do it with us.)
