Just a note on writing @Tom in the first place: The username itself is just Tom -- he logs in with Tom and not @Tom. His profile is at http://twitter.com/Tom, not http://twitter.com/@Tom. You only need to write @Tom when sending a message on Twitter, or mentioning him on Twitter and you want him to know about it. When writing outside Twitter, it can also be used as shorthand to indicate a Twitter username, but it's not essential in this case.

| Nov 4, 2011 at 0:36 | comment | added | Zelda | Further reading: support.twitter.com/groups/31-twitter-basics/topics/… Using @username is a mention or a reply, even in Twitter lingo it does not constitute "contact this person" it just means "at this person" | |
| Nov 4, 2011 at 0:14 | comment | added | Zelda | I don't believe this is an "appropriate" use of the @ symbol in Twitter's context. @Tom may mean either just the user "Tom" on Twitter or "At Tom", but using it to mean "contact Tom on twitter" doesn't make sense. They're leaving out a verb. | |
