Sending a message to someone via twitter - basics question

If I want to send a tweet to someone via twitter, what are the ways to do that and what are the odds they will see it?

I set up 2 test accounts (not actually the screen names, but let's say they are test1 and test2) and from test1, I tweeted

@test2 test message.

Logging in on another machine as test2, I don't see that message.

Another way is to direct message someone? but if they aren't following you, they don't get it, right?

comments?  thoughts?

thanks!

notifications!  Thanks.  That makes it easy to see the incoming message.

So is that the same as typing @myusername in the search box?  No I guess that also shows what that person tweeted out (was wondering if I could create a similar view of what they would see in the notifications / would my note be lost in the noise / are lots of others mentioning / sending messages to this person).

thanks!
