For the contest that I just won the # symbol behind it is a way to follow the contest. If you search for the name with # behind it it will show you all the posts related to that topic, from everyone. So when everyone is supposed to enter at a certain time it is very helpful.

I hope that made sense lol.

You can try it by doing it with the contest I just won (and to try and win their next contest) in the twitter search thing search for #thebigtoybook . Also for that contest they require you to put that in your tweets.

hrm, kinda confusing.. and congratson your win, i seen that, thats awesome!

Haha, I know. I just figured it out today, so I don't have an easy way of explaining it.

And yes, if you put @ and then someones name they will see it. You can also search for your own name to see if anyone has mentioned you, or if you've won a contest.

Hi everyone! I've been trying to add you all on twitter. It's a very new thing for me so please be forgiving! I'm Irish_Girl27 on Twitter.

This is a great idea for a thread :) On twitter im NatashaaLee420 if anyone's interested :)

I thought this might come in handy for those learning how to Twitter... or whatever you want to call it :) I'm still not quite sure yet what I am doing. In order to win something does the company have to follow you as well?

^great info!!! thanks!!
and im curious about that too, because ive been entering contests that are not following me... lol

Yeah I was wondering about that too ... how do you find out if you won a contest on twitter ... like how do they notify you ??? and how do they know you entered a contest if there not following your tweets .. I've had twitter for awhile but never really used it until a couple of days ago :)

Just thought it would be less cluttery and easier to add everyone this way :)
