How do responses on Twitter work?

[Kelleher]

If I am following someone but they aren't following me and they ask a question. If I press respond and send a "@twittername" tweet, will they see it?

They can see if they go to their @replies because your tweet won't show up on their homepage.

Yes, @twittername will let them see it. Once they follow you back, you can send them a direct/private message.

To get someone to follow you, you can reply to them and start conversations. There's so much more than I can type in this little box. Check out the free twitter course here: http://urlchef.com/twittercourse/index.php
