I still can't believe how many people are fundamentally misunderstanding a basic piece of Twitter's functionality. Here is the bottom line: If you start a tweet with an @ symbol, that tweet only shows up in the feeds of the people who follow you AND the person you're @ing. So if you want to start a tweet with an @handle, you need to put something in front of it so that you're not leading with an @.
