They get posted on your wall, and on walls of those who follow you. If you want to refer to someone (equivalent to tagging in Facebook), you can just add "@" in front of their username and add that to the content of your tweet. That way, even if they do not follow you, they will be able to see your tweet. Hope this clarifies things a little bit. I will be writing a post explaining all these technical things in detail, as I see many people have problems starting with Twitter. Stay tuned. ;) The tweets you write are like Facebook statuses.

I just read this article but I still feel in the dark. Where do I find information on how to tweet, manipulate the function keys, know the signs/symbols people use such as # and when do I use @bjrooney_5? I know I am a come idiot but I do not understand half of the stuff being tweeted, how to pick some one, etc. Now, I know this is a first to get this moronic of tweetism. :) :( I have Twitter on my PC, my iPhone,and my iPad2.

Your tweets only appear to people who follow you. 2. Yes and no. There are two ways, you can send a public reply to their tweet, and theirs and your followers can see that tweet, or you can send them direct message which is private and only you two can see the conversation. 1.
