Messaging via Twitter: Public

The public @ message

Type @ followed, without a space, by the person’s name: @loosewire

This message will appear in their @replies section of their account that there is a message for them. (And they may get an email message depending on the notification settings of their account).

(You can also reference someone without using the @ sign, but unless they’re checking for all tweets that include their name, chances are they’ll miss it.)
