@jon Easy to convey why this new way with now more than one social network doing the whole thing Twitter used to be alone in.

You don’t email: president. You email: president@whitehouse.gov

We’re out of the days off CompuServe style microblogging. There’s more than a major player now, time to do what we did once CompuServe needed to do more than 71234,56.

I get why press still put @ exampleusername and assume everyone will just think Twitter but that thinking is becoming dated.
