@Andy as much as I don’t like it, if we’re going with the @username idea, we should probably move the cursor to after the username not before (+ a space) so that they begin typing naturally at the right spot.

I don’t know about the Twitter @ phenom fading but I promise you, s much as it’s used, people still are annoyed by having to remember a username’s real name. I follow Aaron Brazell a lot on Twitter and still have to memorize that he is @technosailor
