INTERNET MARKETING

I see in a lot of peoples Twitter feeds there are posts that start with @username. But if I reply to someone's post it seems to just appear their @reply tab and not for the public to see. I can't seem to figure out how this works. How do I use Twitter to publicly join the conversation?

Thanks in advance.

When you use the @reply, the reply is seen by that person. If you want everyone to see it, start your sentence or reply, THEN use the @reply (name) and everyone will see it.

Example: Wow. That's great info @name. How do you make that app work?

Everyone sees that. But if you put: @name - How do you make that app work? It goes right to @name's site only.

  Thank you so much, that was helpful. You don't know how many times I have asked this simple question with out a clear response.
  
  Just to clarify though, if I use @reply in the middle of the sentence, does it appear on their twitter feed as well or just mine?
  
  I have seen a lot of accounts where other people's tweets seem to appear in their feeds via an @reply, but I have never been clear how this happens because when I do it it just goes right though to their @reply box (i have tested it with multiple accounts of my own).
  
  Is that what you are saying? put the @reply in the middle of the post and then everyone who is following their feed will see it as well?
  
  Look at this feed as an example: Gary Vaynerchuk (garyvee) on Twitter
  
  You can see how many tweets appear in the feed that all start with the @reply. How is this being done?
  
  Thanks
