girls, you follow the #1D hashtag

fracture

meaning anything other than hashtag in the
context of social media (SoMe)

where #something has been included within
140 character tweets

professional or not

follow the same

• Mute those whose tweets you wish to hide
but when you don’t want to unfollow
• You can selectively turn off retweeted content
from those you follow

– @something – try to keep it short
• Hashtag
– a searchable term in the format #something

accounts to be in a list

attention/interaction
