Hmm, I don't actually agree with this bit. Hashtags are the standard way to accomplish this, and I thought that was what was originally proposed. I only saw one person suggest using @replies and didn't see anyone else agree with that suggestion. The way Twitter handles @replies makes your proposal problematic. If I want to post something to Twitter about MeeGo and I include @meegocom, most people won't see it because of how Twitter filters @replies and only shows them to you if you are following both accounts or if you've configured your account to see all replies. As a Twitter user, I'm happy to include a hashtag, but I wouldn't want to include an @reply in my message. Or I would have to post it twice, which defeats the purpose.
