Or, if you want to let everyone in on a conversation you're having, retweet it.

Writing by Maggie Tillman. Editing by Britta O'Boyle. Originally published on 22 October Using " username" in your tweet is a way to mention or reference someone on Twitter. For example, if you tweet " diffen What is the difference between Reply and RT? When diffen logs in, either on the Twitter website or through one of the Twitter clients, they can check the "Replies" or "Mentions" they have received i.
If you begin your tweet with " username" then it means you are addressing that user. It is a special case of a reply or mention. The reason it is different from using " username" anywhere else on your tweet can be explained through an example. Let's say you have 2 followers: abc and Their usernames are abc and but the way they are referenced on Twitter is using ' ' before their username so that it's clear we are talking about users.
While abc is following both you and diffen, is only following you and not diffen. Now consider the ways in which you can reply to diffen:. In both examples, your tweets are technically public. But in the first example, you begin your tweet with " diffen". So this tweet will not automatically appear in the timeline for your follower because is not following diffen. The message is addressed to diffen so it is presumably not of wider interest to all your followers.
So, even though the tweet is public, it doesn't automatically get pushed to all your followers. To see it they have to see your Twitter page. On the other hand, abc is following both you and diffen. So abc will presumably be interested in following any conversation that you and diffen have. So any public messages you send to diffen will automatically be pushed to abc just like any regular tweet you send that is not addressed to any user in particular.
In the second example, " diffen" is not in the beginning of the tweet. So this is a reference to diffen a reference is type of reply because it appears as a mention in diffen's timeline. Even though it's a reference to diffen, all your followers will see this tweet because it's not specifically addressed to diffen.
A direct message is a type of reply that can only be sent to one of your followers. A DM is like private e-mail.
It does not appear publicly on your Twitter page.
