can someone explain why so many are putting a period (.) before a @so-and-so ? like ".@moo hi cow" ? thanks
how now brown cow? - Yolanda
I think it's because of Twitter's rule change that only allows the person addressed to see replies that start with @ (later changed to allow people who follow both users to see the message). - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
yea john - some others replied on twitter - it seems if you do ".@moo" instead of "@moo" then everyone can see it - Allen Stern
oh great email voyerism - Weird Shanghai
Allen, is http://www.centernetworks.com/ a bit like TechCrunch in style? - Mark
See this is why I don't like the argument that FriendFeed is harder to use than Twitter. It just has less exposure. - Ryan Massie
very cool. thanks Dave - Sam Levin
John, When did Twitter change the rule and then change it again? It passed me by... - david
.@centernetworks is .@ontosomething - Louis Gray
Awhile ago, if you wanted to, you could put Twitter in "promiscuous" mode. It was an option you could check off and they warned against doing this due the "volume" of tweets you might see in your feed (your friends replying to people you're not friends with). Twitter claims only 2% of users ever turned this on and it was causing too much data overhead for them so they took the option... more... - Adam Turetzky
Since Twitter lists all @yourTwitterusername mentions on the side, I've been putting the person's name in the body of the tweet so that they and others will see it. I'm assuming that has the same result. Anybody have an argument for using the .@ vs just burying it in the tweet? - Cathleen Rittereiser
Wow, if only twitter would add metadata, work around wouldn't be required. So now, you're down ANOTHER character in your message. 140 just keeps seeming like less and less. - Andy Bakun
Cathleen, your solution produces the same result, and I've seen others do it, and I think creates a more "literarily" pretty result compared to the .@ - Adam Turetzky
.@ = fix replies - rob friedman
I think ~ makes more sense than @, in general, but I'm old school internet. - Andy Bakun
people are also using exclamation i've seen i.e. !@centernetworks but i prefer to put the name in the body of the comment. overall though, if you're using a client and not the twitter site proper, you'll still see all the @s - Lynne d Johnson
This is interesting. - Kol Tregaskes
One more reason to use Friendfeed, it will show you the @replies. For people who don't have a FF account you create an imaginary friend. - Willem (@wim66) ☠
A few of my friends are using the jerkcity reply addressing format. "T @username Reply here". It's an extra character but it makes me laugh every time I see it. (Jerkcity itself is rude, crass, offensive, and NSFW, so look this up at your own peril.) - Richard Soderberg
This is not quite correct. 1. Use the reply function to generate the "@username" (instead of typing it in) and and only that user and those that follow you and them will see it.2. If you type in the "@username" then everyone will see it. - Dave
I'm not sure why . is needed in the middle of the tweet when I'm going to see the tweet anyway if I'm following the twitterer. . at the beginning lets everyone see it (instead of just the person being replied to). - Char James-Tanny
gothca! That's really handy (and really clever). But I was under the impression, that like Dave said — public vs. private reply was a function of you pressing that 'reply' button, not beginning the tweet with an @name. - Joey Baker
at this point, I'm considering importing all of my twitter follows that don't have ff accounts as imaginary friends and using ff as my main twitter interface. I've already done so with my personal contacts on Twitter. It would be useful to have a tool that allowed us to do this en masse. - Bill Kinney
