How to Answer a Tweet
Twitter is a social networking site that relies on a newsfeed to keep you updated on what your followers are doing. It also provides the ability to say whatever is on your mind within a limited amount of characters. Certain codes allow users to tag other Twitter accounts in a status update, which then appears in that user's newsfeed. If someone tags you, you can reply to the tweet by including the alternate user's name, which will appear in that person's newsfeed rather than as a general status update.
