 The way to cite/reference Twitter posts in APA style is as follows:   For an in-text citation, in parentheses, place the username, followed by a comma, and then the year of the post. This would look like: (username, 2011).   For an entry in a reference list, see the following example:   username. (2011, December 8). Text of entire tweet including any links provided in tweet [Twitter post]. Retrieved from _____   The date in parentheses is the date the tweet was posted.
