Twitter Replies? . . . . . . . . . . . . .? - David - 08-21-2013 02:36 AM
Twitter Help says:
Have you ever wondered where your @reply will appear once you've sent it? Hopefully this table gives a better outline of where Tweets go when you click the "Tweet" button.
Definition: Any message with fewer than 140 characters posted to Twitter.
Where it appears for the sender: On the sender's profile page and Home timeline.
Where it appears for the recipient: In the Home timeline of anyone who is following the sender.
Q. That is a lot of followers in some cases, does that mean that a lot of people are not reading all their replies because they have to keep going to their followers' Twitter sites,
When I come by someone that I like & want to reply to, & click follow, if I then click Reply I see this in the typing box:
@name
Do I type my message after it as in:
@name Yes that is correct & I thought it was very good.
Can I have this reply appear in their Twitter page under where the post is even if only they can see it?
In the process of writing this question I have realised & understood why Twitter does it like this, however Twitter itself does also say that a lot of people use their Twitter as a mini blog. Does that mean that I cannot reply to anyone at Twitter for several days after I have blogged something unless I have another one?

When you retweet something you are saying, “I agree!†If it is done properly, then everyone will see the tweet, but if the beginning of the retweet starts with @username, then only the person mentioned, and any followers you share with them, will see it. There is an automatic way to retweet, but when you do that you can’t add a personal touch.
