Jasmin,

If you post an @ to someone it will show up in their stream even if they're not following you. Keep in mind though, that if you're following a big account they may not @ back. Which could be for a number of reasons...like they get a lot of people responding to them and there's too many to sift through. Or any number of reasons. It will show up on their stream though.

Happy Tweeting!

I recently created the following hash tag #WellnessJournal and was advised by another use that they have been trying to Tweet using this tag. Unfortunately, it is not showing up when you search this has tag. Any idea what might be the problem?

Most of these were born out of the community not by the people at Twitter themselves. In fact, I think when Twitter was still in private beta, there wasn't even an @. @{username} was something the users started doing and Twitter integrated it into their system. So that's why there's no “list”. However, if you look at the little box under your Following/Followers/Tweets, you'll sometimes see a Twitter definition there.

Thanks for reading.
