Will everyone see my Twitter Tweets if I send an message? - FLEX - 11-18-2012 01:06 AM
On Twitter you can allow open access to your messages. Therefore, if I posted a message or sent a text message update - would everyone accessing Twitter be shown my message?
P.S. I am aware that there is the option to restrict your profile to your followers only.

Twitter is a very powerful tool for those who use it right. However those who only logon a few times and then delete their account will never understand the value of anything let alone Twitter.
Each person on Twitter is given their own profile. Here is mine.

As you can see I have posts from other Twitterites that are on my page. They show up their because I chose to "FOLLOW" that person.
NOTE: I auto follow everyone and then weed out those who do not follow Twitter etiquette and on occassion find it necessary to block a person if they are being stupid.
However, the people I follow only get their posts listed here if they send a public message. You send a public message by putting a @ before the user ID. If you want to send a private message to a given person that would be a direct message which would look like this [D BodyByChocolate].
So, yes, the world can see what you send or you can be more private. Whatever you do I recommend not making your account private as that totally defeats the purpose of Twitter as a whole in my opinion.
Hope that helps.
