That's not a bug/something that needs fixing? The exponential increase in noise would make twitter even less useful. The last thing my timeline needs is to see

  Right, this is very much a feature not a bug. I have friends who do corporate customer service through Twitter and the feed would be a disaster if every response or "@" to someone was in the main stream of tweets. It still shows up if two people you follow are @ing each other, which is a great way to jump into the conversation if desired.

  I believe I was more commenting on the behavior of the period and @ ".@" to a average user I think the understanding the intention and the ability to quickly pick up this feature/behavorial cue is a toughie.

    What is your suggested fix?

      Visual indication on the compose tab with popover that explains the concept.
