@Reply Definition - What Is an @Reply?

By Sandra Grauschopf, About.com

Definition:

If you want to reply to a Tweet that someone else has posted, use an @reply by using the @ symbol followed by the other Twitterer's username.

When you use an @reply, the other Twitterer will see your post, even if he or she doesn't follow you.

Examples:
