is someone on twitter able to see an at-message who isn't following you if you are on private settings? - sheela - 12-19-2012 10:29 AM
if your account is set to private, so that only your approved followers can see your tweets, can you send an at-message to someone outside your followers? will they be able to see it? i can see both sides of this, because technically they are not following you, however, you are sending it to them even so. so... what will twitter do in this situation?

No they will not see this message.
You would not be sending them a message, you would simply be tweeting something that has their name "mentioned". If that user were to check his/her mentions, they would not see your tweet because to them it does not exist.
