Understanding and Using # Tags and @ Tags on soSAILize.net
soSAILize HelpDeskThe best way to think of the difference between these two tags is that using the @ refers to a person/group in a conversation, and the # refers to a topic of conversation.
Using the # tag generally indicates that you want to participate in a larger, ongoing conversation - for example, a conference (#Boot) or a popular subject (#sailing).
Using the @ tag signifies to someone that you're talking about them, giving them a head's up about something, and/or would like them to respond.2 days ago
