Good reminder about hashtags… I’ve seen some crazy posts out there out of context.

@Jocelyn – That’s one other reason why I like Tweetdeck.

New feature of Tweetdeck: if you reply to a post that contains a hashtag, Tweetdeck will automatically include that hashtag.

Also: there will be times when you do want to have something other that the @username at the beginning of your post. In Twitter, a user can choose not to see @replies that are addressed to anyone that user isn’t following — this cuts down on “noise” of viewing one-sided conversations (I tend to switch it on and off, now and then looking to see if anyone I follow seems to be having interesting convos with someone I ought to be following; I wish I could set that option on a per-person basis). Knowing this, you may choose to lead with something else in order to get your tweet read by users who have that option enabled.

Helpful tips John! I have been missing a few shouts outs to me because wasn’t searching on jocelynharmon as well as @jocelynharmon. Yikes! I hate to be rude.

@Hart – Thanks for the info on Caps. When I’ve hand-typed a username into either iTweet or Twitter, I’ve had issues with #3. Maybe it’s resolved?

Sometimes it’s not as easy as you think it should be.\

For instance – I use http://itweet.net …

YES YOU CAN SEND ME MESSAGES like @PetLvr! @PetLvr…. @PetLvr? etc and I will receive a message – so your tip #3 isn’t really a valid twitter issue.

What is a real and valid twitter issue is the usage of capital letters in usernames that gets defaulted to small letters in searches and then put back to what it is.

Here are two identical screen shots – I just took them…
1) When I hit the “REPLIES” link/button/tab … (this is the same on either http://iTweet.net and http://twitter.com/home web access)
http://easycaptures.com/4536477008

2) When I do a search for people typing @PetLvr (this is the same in iTweet’s sidebar search or summize.com /search.twitter access)
http://easycaptures.com/7735648880

If you will note – they are both different results – of the replies to me – taken 10 seconds apart. You would think they should be identical – but they are not. It’s actually worse when people type @petlvr or @Petlvr .. instead of my actual twitter name @PetLvr …

But – to compensate, I use tweetlater service and I will ultimately get 100% of the replies to me – but, sometimes not for 2 hours. I feel silly talking to people live and then get part of the conversation 2 hours later .. and sometimes choose not to reply because it’s already ‘past the moment’…
