    I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get a reply to show up (or I don't know where to look) in Twitter. Let's say I'm trying to send a reply to @twitter_user. What I did was:

    1. I became a follower of @twitter_user.
    2. I then went to my home page and typed "@twitter_user here is my message body" and hit update.
    3. I then went over to the twitter.com/twitter_user and looked for my message to show up in twitter_user's queue.

    Well, it never showed up in twitter_user's messages, but I see other things in his messages. What am I doing wrong? How can you have a "conversation" with anyone when the message never shows up?

    Got it all sorted then? It would be in your stream on your twitter.com/yourname and when they look at their @replies tab they'll see it. genesisblogging.com has some really good Twitter tutorials if you're new Twitter.

    *disclaimer* That's not an affiliate link or even my site, just a good resource.

    Yeah, I did find it - thx. It's kind of weird how twitter has it set up, but at least I have it figured out and actually got a response from someone...
