What Is Social Media Marketing?
From Wikipedia:
A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.
Hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth, meaning it results in earned media rather than paid media.

About Twitter
The Lingo
DM – Direct MessageDirect messages are private messages sent from one Twitter person to another. You can only send a direct message to a person who follows you.
RT – RetweetRT is short for retweet, and indicates a re-posting of someone else's tweet. This isn't an official Twitter command or feature, but people add RT somewhere in a tweet to indicate that part of their tweet includes something they're re-posting from another person's tweet, sometimes with a comment of their own.

About Twitter
The LingoHashtag - #Because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or add extra data, the Twitter community came up with their own way: hashtags. A hashtag is similar to other web tags- it helps add tweets to a category. Hashtags have the 'hash' or 'pound' symbol (#) preceding the tag, like so: #traffic, #followfriday, #hashtag. Hashtags can occur anywhere in the tweet: some people just add a # before a word they're using.
ListsCurated groups of other Twitter users. Used to tie specific individuals into a group on your Twitter account. Displayed on the right side menu of your homepage.

Favorite To favorite a Tweet means to mark it as one of your favorites by clicking the yellow star next to the message.
Reply A Tweet posted in reply to another user's message, usually posted by clicking the "reply" button next to their Tweet in your timeline. Always begins with @username.
