Pretty funny, Joshua. Too bad no one forwarded a link to this article to the wiener in question. ;-)

Maria,
If I am a sitting member of the House of Representatives, happily married to a woman who I consider “too good to be true,” and I want to tweet a picture of my package to a random 21 year-old girl, which method of addressing her would you recommend?

Thanks!

Aaron: The answer is currently no. (This differed in the past when it was customizable with a preference setting.) But they will appear in the person’s @replies tab — unless they have blocked you.

hi Maria,

quick question. Does my @replies appear on the other end’s home page if that person is not following me?

i just love to Twitter everyday with my friends. Twitter is much better than blogging in my opinion and it is very addictive too.

Hi Maria, maybe I’m not getting this, but most @replies tend to make no sense to all the other readers, and so seem pointless and much better as a DM. Or am I doing something wrong?
