How can i send a reply or direct message?

It's important to bear in mind that as a standard, all your messages or 'tweets' are sent out to the public.


You can reply to people if you want to get their attention or just pitch your thoughts to them. You reply to someone by putting '@' in front of their user name. So @username for example.


If you want to send someone a private message, something that only you and that other person can see (like an email), you need to send them a direct message. You can do this simply by adding 'D' and a space before their username, e.g. 'D username'.
