My wife Terra, ke5zru, has been tweeting on Twitter much longer than me, so I have convinced her to register here at ORR to help me explain your questions Andy. The @ symbol indicates that you are addressing your tweet @ someone.

To send a tweet directly to me you would craft your message as follows:

@Chris_seright Howdy Chris

Remember your messages can be seen by all of your followers and can be retweeted by anyone.

Fridays are "Follow Fridays" and people suggest to their friends that they should follow other friends. The message looks like this:

#ff @ke5zru @Chris_seright @N1ORK

When your followers receive this message from you, they click on each user name and add the new users to their follow list. Before you know it, you have a group of followers with like-minded interests. Andy, this Friday I will recommend you to all of my Twitter Ham friends and you will pick up 40-50 new followers.
