Twitter: help please!

[J-Rock]

Off topic (sort of)....Can someone just tell me - when you've first signed up to twitter - how do you send a message to someone.

E.g. @username - then your message...in the box where it says 'What you doing?'

Do they then automatically receive it if you're following them, or do they have to accept you first or something?

I have tried to read the instructions.....:puzzled:

Any advice - please - thanks!

They receive it unless you are blocked by them, whether or not they reply depends on them and how many other messages they have to answer.

If they do block you, I think you get a message informing you when you try to message them.

It took me ages to figure out how to even send a message.

It's a right weird system...

I was about a month using Twitter until I found out about @replies... :blush2:

Now you've thrown me - is this something else or the same thing as explained above?
