direct messaging is "private" and sends your message to the inbox the other tweeter

retweeting you are "publicly" resending a message from another user, so YOUR follower
could read this message - the way you do it is to use the "RT" shortcut and the name of the
person you did quote

RT @nameofperson Nobody knows enough to be a pessimist.

replying is also a "public" action using the name of the person and writing a new message behind it

@nameofperson I did like this quote from you
