A few things I would love to see added to it: REPLIES: A REPLY is any tweet that begins with a @username, whether you directly type in their name or whether you click on the arrow next to one of their tweets. When you click the arrow next to their tweet, it will create a link to that tweet under your reply. So if someone replies to you and they say "I totally agree with you" and you have no idea what they're talking about, click the link under their reply. WHO SEES REPLIES? The only people who would see the following REPLY: <i>@feliciaday you were awesome in Epitath One!</i> a) @feliciaday b) people who are following both you AND @feliciaday c) people who are at your twitter homepage For it to be a TWEET and NOT a REPLY, simply put a single character in front of the @username, such as a period or an exclamation. REPLY when you don't want to clutter up your friend feed: <i>@feliciaday you were awesome in Epitath one! </i> TWEET when you want everyone to read it: <i>.@feliciaday is amazing in Epitath one!

Some of the Twitter advice is so overly complicated and get's too technical, but Deanna's info here is just what I needed to review and digest even though I know Twitter pretty much it's good to see the pieces I leave out like RT'ing and so on.
