Twitter visibility

  1. When we follow an account, we see followee's own updates not others that s/he follows, unless we already follow ones of them mutually.
  2. People will only see replies in their home time line if they are following both the sender and recipient of the update. People with protected accounts cannot send replies to people who aren't following them, and mentions won't be seen by non-followers either. [from: "What are @replies and mentions?"]

Lists
As simply stated in Lists' privacy setting:
  • Public — Anyone can subscribe to this list.
  • Private — Only you can access this list.
We see lists when they are set public, and cannot see/access private lists (even we specify exact URL).  This rule is not matter the lists' owner is normal(public) or protected account.

What connection can we make with other people?
Given that they are: »
Normal/public account
Protected account
Follow them
Yes
To request
Keep them in list
Yes
Available when we've already followed
Follow (subscribe) their lists
Public lists only
Public lists only (needn't request)
See their private lists
No
No

Whom do we see inside a list?
Given that they (not list owner) are: »
Normal/public account
Protected account
List is public
Visible
Visible if we've also followed them
List is private
List is inaccessible
List is inaccessible

Also notice that we may put people (of normal/public account) into our list(s) without following them: i.e., they are not shown up in our main-stream time line.

Number sign (#)

Source: Number sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are some facts that we've never noticed before.
  • It's also called "hash" sign (myself have just learned this from Twitter).
  • It's not actually same as the "sharp" sign. And "C#", which is called "see sharp", actually uses # instead of real sharp sign for convenience.
