When you join Twitter all the emails you receive can be a real PITA, and
it seems like a month doesn’t go by without Twitter adding yet another
email notification to its roster. Thankfully, you can turn all of them
off with a single click: simply log on to Twitter.com, visit your
profile settings and click on the
‘Email notifications’ tab. From here click on the ‘Turn off’ button to disable all email. Nice!
If You Start A Tweet With @Username, It’s A Reply
This is a mistake I see people who have been using Twitter for years
and years make every single day. If you start a tweet with @username
it’s a reply, and will
ONLY be seen by the person you’re sending the tweet to
and anyone else on Twitter who is following
BOTH of you.
Nobody
else will see that tweet in their timeline as Twitter assumes it’s a
reply and won’t deliver it (although it will be visible on your profile
and in Twitter search results to everybody).
If you put someone’s @username
ANYWHERE ELSE in the tweet but right at the very beginning, it’s a mention and will be seen by everyone who follows you. You’re welcome!
