Purpose

It gets kind of annoying to send someone an e-mail, or a tweet, or a Facebook status update, or so on...then have to spend time telling them in no confusing words just to be sure they got it. This template is meant to help ease that problem, at least in Twitter, by notifying a Tweet recipient of a new "tweet" for you. Just place {{Tweet}} on the user's page, and they are quickly informed. Other examples follow.

The template does not require substitution, unless "sig=yes" is used (this automatically signs the message).

This template follows the same basic usage guideline as the {{You've got mail}} template.
