It’s no secret news works well on Twitter. In part, this is because of the speed with which communications are read, interacted with, and shared. In part, it is because of the type of people on Twitter. Much more than Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media, Twitter users like news, discussion, and debate. Twitter is also a great way to reach out to newsmakers and sources.

Twitter uses hashtags. Twitter users search an interest or trending topic by hashtags, although they search without the hash as well.
