When you reply to tweets, try to make them stand-alone so they can be RTed without the need for QT comments to explain them. That way responses go to you rather than QTer.

Agree. An easy way to do this is to QT the tweet you're replying too, like this tweet. Of course this isn't often optimal

Well, it's still a reply, it's in your thread. Someone who doesn't follow you but replies to my tweet would have you in the reply to me. Nonetheless how it appears in different clients may vary. The formatting difference between a QT & an RQT may be minimal.

Well, I did an RQT, not a QT. I will check on Twitter Lite to see how it looks.

Reply Quote Tweets (RQTs) combine a Quote Tweet (QT) with a Reply. RQTs are possibly the most powerful way to use Twitter. They have a multitude of uses from thread maintenance to thread branching to linking different people & concepts together.

Threading 101: Reply Quote Tweets: The most powerful way to use Twitter, RQTs link 2 tweets together. Here the tweet to the left of the RQT is being Replied to & the tweet below the RQT is being Quote Tweeted. In clients other than TweetDeck this needs to be a Manual QT. Only TweetDeck allows you to Reply after starting a QT. RQTs are social triangles, linking different concepts together.
