Tweets should not begin with @. If you want to talk with just one person, use an instant message (that is why they were created after all)" Oddly though if you put the @ symbol then the persons username is adds an 'in reply to' link at the end of the tweet, some maybe it IS an IM. I think twitter is going to be alot of things to alot of people. It's kinda silly for one person to be telling others how he thinks they should use it. “Twitter is not an instant messaging service.
