You can mention the person you are replying to in your tweet. However, if someone is not following you, you cannot send a direct tweet which will only be seen by the person concerned.

But the person I want to respond to is not following me - am I right in thinking that this means I can't send them a message? It seems a bit pointless to follow someone if they don't follow you, then you can't respond? I may be missing something as there are links not read well by JAWS (I'm using the mobile twitter site on my PC). Can anyone enlighten me as to how I communicate with this person? It's the blind_tech by the way, I got a message from someone on facebook about them setting up a website for blind tech stuff. I want to respond to their request for suggestions on podcasts.
