If my tweets are protected can the people who I send tweets to read them or not?

[Lazy-assedpan098]

Confusing sounding question . . . But I am new to Twitter and am wondering if the people I send tweets to can read that specific tweet even if my tweets are protected. Phewf. That was a mouthful! Please and thank you :-)

you mean that @ tweets right? no, unless they are following you.

here is what happen if you protect your account:
* People will have to request to follow you and each follow request will need approval
* Your Profile and Tweets will only be visible to users you've approved
* Protected Profiles' Tweets will not appear in Twitter search
* @replies sent to people who aren't following you will not be seen
* You cannot share static page URL's with non-followers
