Ok, I don't tweet: in simple words, does it mean that putting the @ in front of a username will trigger the feature? @norm @scoosh @pat5mph (trying myself too, ha ha!) and if it works like that, maybe it's like an email address@ilikeskol

Kind of, by pointing out that they are hash tags, I was thinking that would help refine a Google.
