Another thing, DM only works only if there the two of you follow each other. You can't DM without that two-way follow relationship.

One more nuance (not directly related to @)- deleting a tweeting sort of deletes it. It may disappear from the timeline of the person who posts it and the people who follow whom but it may still appear if you do a twitter search for all tweets from the person. So if meant to DM a person but @ him/her the tweet may live forever even if you delete it.

Twitter ought to be more explicit about this. Even very seasoned users of Twitter don't seem to know or remember this.

Mark, I had totally missed that nuance about the @ symbol as the first character of a post. Good stuff, thank you.
