Does anyone use SMS with Twitter? Is so, could you pass along further tips? I receive SMS notifications for a few accounts I follow. I’m not certain how to reply via SMS though.
Let’s say I want to retweet Bob’s status… When his status arrives via SMS, do I just reply with RT, or do I need to reply with RT Bob? Same goes for like. Do I reply with like, or like Bob? :) Thank you. I had the idea if I learn this better, it may be a simple way to retweet & like via the Apple Watch.
