Message: <blockquote data-quote="weem" data-source="post: 5213768" data-attributes="member: 9470">It was said here earlier that Twitter is about the immediate conversation (essentially) so, unlike Facebook where you might go back and look at all the updates if it had been a while, for Twitter (via TweetDeck) I (and most others) would only look at the updates that are immediately in view (on the screen, etc) - I may scroll down a little, but I generally only look at what is immediately there. That means, I am only looking at the last 10-15 updates at a time (of potentially 100-ish that were posted since I last looked). Again, I think this is the case for most people.Those who  posted something and hoped for a response will either post it multiple times during the day "in case you missed it earlier..." etc, or will "Mention" a persons name they are trying to get a response from.As for Mentions......on your twitter page (or in a column if you set it up in TweetDeck) there is a section for Mentions (people mentioning you) - this is the area I pay the closest attention to because these are messages aimed at me specifically. In most cases, there will be many less "mentions" of you than there are general tweets from those you follow.The point is, unlike other things such as Facebook, Twitter is more about what is happening right now. Where Facebook is geared more towards "sharing", "liking" and the regular back and forth between "friends", Twitter focuses on an immediate message.---edit---On that note, where's MY <a href="http://twitter.com/theweem" target="_blank">follow</a> @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=1" target="_blank">Morrus</a>: ? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
