This is precisely why I was against it. Just prefixing any name with @ is one of those Twitterisms I find every bit as annoying as hashtags. I hope this is going to be used in a more sensible way after the initial excitement is over. You know, like the @-syntax was used before Twitter, at the beginning of a paragraph to indicate it concerns a certain previous poster, or maybe in a line of its own to invite someone to the discussion.

Yes, it should only be used sparingly when wanting to make an important point to someone, that you want to make sure they get.
But for that its very useful.

Dan:
I think it can be useful, I stop watching threads when I think the conversation turns stale even though it may go on for pages.
So now if someone mentions me I'll know.
P.S.: Gratuitous mention of @Delta
