If you are replying to a tweet, they won't show up for everyone. This only applies when composing a new tweet from scratch that starts with an @name (and behind the scenes does not contain an "in_reply_to", which if you want to broadcast to everyone, can now be retweeted).
- atonse 10y agoAh makes sense, thanks.
- eterm 10y agoHow can it tell? This must use some out-of-band data to figure out whether it's a "new" tweet or a "reply"? Is that compatible with API consumers or the SMS interface? (Or are these both dead?)

- digi_owl 10y agoTwitter have been largely ignoring SMS for years... If you reply via an app or their website, they attach the id of the tweet you are replying to in their database. This is how they can show you a conversation timeline. Note btw that their new "retweet with a comment" system breaks said timeline tracking...
- chc 10y agoThe API can easily do this, and AFAIK any Twitter client you're likely to run into already does this. The SMS interface doesn't appear to support this, though.
