What does this mean (Twitter question)? - {αngelα.lee}ღ - 10-01-2012 07:21 AM
Hi, I'm thinking of creating a Twitter account but I was wondering what this meant:
So I was viewing a friend's Twitter profile, and it had things like, for example, @Marie how was school?
Does that mean he commented/replied to Marie or did Marie comment/reply back to him?
Thanks!

it means that your particular tweet is for Marie

"at Marie how was school" so he is asking Marie.
he commented/replied to Marie

Your friend was talking only to Marie. So when he puts the @ sign before her name it shows up in her mentions so she can read it and write back.
