Now worries.  I understand the sarcasm.  

So with Twitter, if I retweet the post, only my followers see it?  And, is retweeting something like this considered poor form?

I appreciate the assistance.  I need to get with the times.

Twitter is pretty much useless without followers. If you post from your account, only your followers will be notified of your tweet (if they set up to get alerts from your activity). Using hashtags makes your tweets “searchable” if you will, like if someone tweeted a video of their HR and put #homerun, it could be searched. Accounts that retweet are helpful for exposure, lots of people with no real connections somehow gain a good following and they can help spread the word. It’s really something that I dislike, all the social media blathering about yourself or your kid...I find it obnoxious...but it’s part of the way to get your name out there.
