You can't send a private message to someone who isn't following you, but you can send a reply using a at (@) followed by the person's username and your message. You can do this by Mentioning them or by replying to one of their tweets.

When TV stations say send us a message on Twitter what do they mean. I am new to Twitter and as I understand I can only send messages to people following me - the TV station is not following me?

You may send a tweet (or @reply) to anyone on Twitter; you certainly don't have to be following them! Following a Twitter user just means that all their tweets appear in the "timeline" on the home page of Twitter when you log in. (Along with your tweets and the tweets of anyone else you may be following.) To follow someone, go to their Twitter page and click the "follow" button. Anyway, to send a tweet to any Twitter user, just include an @ sign followed by the username of the user you want to send the tweet to. For example, if you want to send a tweet to the user with the username JohnSmith, include @JohnSmith in you tweet.


How can you get all the people you follow to see your tweets on their timeline?
