Want to Tweet About Someone's Twitter Username Without Them Knowing?

If you would like to quietly buzz about someone without them knowing you can either block them for no reason which I must say is totally outrageous! At least your tweet won't show up in their time line but neither will their tweets show up in your time line. And what if you decide to unblock them? Then they'll see your tweets so that is too far fetched an idea. There has to be a better way right? Well there is! You can use this example @/spunkyduckling where you put a slash or line between the at and their user name. Your tweet will not show up in their @replies. The only way for them to find out if you have tweeted about them would be if they do a search on their name using twitter search box.
