Question about Twitter: How do tweets work?

[Eric]

Last night I sent a tweet to someone. I logged on this morning and he did not respond to my tweet. Will he be able to go back to my tweet at a later time and respond to it if he wants to? How does that work?

Does Twitter provide you with an inbox that lists all of your unanswered tweets from people?

This is just some extra information but the person I tweeted to lives in Los Angeles and I live in the Midwest. So he's like 4 hours behind me time zone wise because he's the Pacific time zone.

So when you mention someone in a tweet like so
Hi @someone !
It will be sent to their @Connect
So if he wanted to he could go through his connect and reply to them.

In twitters @connect it pretty much could be seen as an inbox but it wouldn't be considered unanswered.
