Mention

Including @handle in a tweet, which notifies that user and links to their profile.

In depth

Mentions notify the named user and create a clickable link to their profile. They're the simplest way to bring someone into a conversation or credit a source.

Tagging large accounts gratuitously hoping for a repost is a known engagement-bait pattern and the algorithm down-weights it. Tagging when there's a genuine reason — credit, collaboration, response — performs normally.

Now put it to work

AutoTweet generates and schedules X content tuned for the algorithm — the same one this glossary just explained.
