When I watch games, regardless of team, often the broadcasters will mention some kind of poll taking place which you can take part in via Twitter. They usually say something like "tweet back to us with the hash tag" and then give a hashtag, like #SNYMets or something like that.
So my question is - remember, I've never used Twitter in my life - how exactly do I DO this?
For example: If I'm watching, say, a Mets game, and Gary and the boys give a poll or trivia question which I'm supposed to tweet back to them with an answer (such as, "who's the Mets career hits leader"), how exactly do I go about following those instructions? Apparently I just put that hashtag they asked me to use, somewhere in the tweet. Okay, I got that. But do I also have to mention the actual Twitter account that SNY uses? (offhand I can't remember what SNY's Twitter account is) Or do I use one of the broadcasters' Tweets? I don't know what those are either. And they don't give them during the broadcast. Although the YES guys talk about Twitter a lot, sometimes they give their tweet 'handles'.
Also, sometimes I'll see things during games which just mentions a hashtag and nothing else. For example if you watch a Nats game, it will say #NATITUDE on the backstop behind the batter. What am I supposed to do with THIS? Just put it in a tweet for no reason? If so, what happens when people read my tweet with this in it?
