First off, shouldn’t it be obvious?

Second, Twitter’s help pages leave much to be desired

and Lastly, I’m known as a search wiz, able to find anything on nearly any search engine, yet this one brings back millions of useless results. So, here’s my real question:

I have my accout on Twitter. I personally don’t “tweet” but instead, I only follow a group of news reporters to hear what they say and to have what feels like a direct line of communication to them. What I want to know, is why I can’t view other people’s comments and answers to the statements made by those I follow. Does that make sense?

Let’s say Jane Doe tweets “Coming up today at 10am, we have the inventor of the pencil. What do you want me to question?”

Then 5 minutes later, you see Jane Doe Tweet “@BobSmith, I don’t reckon that he can answer that”

My question, is why can I never read what BobSmith said? Sure, I’m not following Bob, but if he left it as a comment to the original tweet of Jane, someone I AM following, then why can’t I see it? I only see tweets of those I follow, and 70% of them seem random to me because they’re a response to something I can’t see.

I’ve spent barrels of cash on iPhone twitter apps, thinking it was the app, but each one has the same result. So I tried the web, and still can’t see people’s comments or answers.

Seriously, is this how twitter operates? It doesn’t seem like it should be, as it makes a majority of anyone’s tweets, if they respond to something, confusing to everyone else. Or am I missing a major setting or something?

Your help is appreciated!
