They can see your tweets only if they go to your profile page. But if they follow you too, then your tweets will show up in their tweets feed (or news feed that is constantly updated with new tweets of the people you follow).

Yes, Mary, you can read other people’s posts even if you do not follow them, or they’re not following you. As long as they didn’t set their posts to be private, which rarely happens on Twitter.

There is a limit of 140 characters that you can write in one message (tweet).
But then again, you can write more than one message, so you can fit in what you wanted to say. Although, I would avoid long things to say on Twitter, since it is mainly used for quick updates and short sentences. People don’t want to read anything long.

And you can find your friends by searching for them on http://search.twitter.com – you can also use this search tool to find conversations that you are interested in, and maybe join in with your 2 cents. That way, you can meet new people, and find new followers.

I completely get your point. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one, and it certainly isn’t “moronic”. :) I know it can be tough to get it at the beginning, and especially because of those technical details.

I’m currently working on a post which will explain to you in full detail how every one of those things work, and how and when to use it. Stay tuned. ;)

The tweets you write are like Facebook statuses. 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. ;)
