When you reply to a user , if you begin by using the twitter handle then only that person sees the tweet, your users wont see it in their timeline. For e.g. when I reply to the below  tweet by Career Geek What is BYOD and its growing influence on businesses http://t.co/OBWioPAmqM via @freeman_faiz #BYOD â€" Career Geek (@Career_Geek) September 19, 2014 I can reply by clicking on the reply button and it shows up the twitter handle by default at the start. This will only show up in Career_Geek timeline and my followers wont see this appear in their timeline. In some cases you want this. And twitter argues that a conversation between people doesnt necessarily have to be broadcast to every one. However, if you are a brand and want to showcase your conversations then use the reply function carefully. Tweet This. Simply add something before the twitter handle and it will be visible to all. Like this. And thats it for this post. I only recently came to know of these and thought it was worth sharing. If you know of any other tips or tricks do comment below please. 1
