So this is something that i noticed just a couple of minutes ago. You see down there in the bottom of that Twitter post? It reads, " in reply to BryanAlexander." It appears to me that when you address your post at a particular user by following the convention <@username> the Twitter website will link to that user's Twitter timeline on the website. I think this is pretty neat and right on time.

Wouldn't that be 'Orewllian' in use though?

Not sure what you mean by that. Care to further define the question?

Oops. Typos on my part. I gotta quit staying up so late.

I was referring to George Orwells 'Big Brother' from the book '1984' . If I remember correctly the connected society was monitored continously and not to the benefit of the people.
