@username + message --> directs a twitter at another person, and causes your twitter to save in their "replies" tab.
Example: @meangrape I love that song too!

#something --> A hashtag is similar to other web tags- it helps add tweets to a category.
Example: Follow these great people. @jessica, @jasperong and @guykawasaki #ff

D username + message --> sends a person a private message that goes to their device, and saves in their web archive.
Example: D krissy want to pick a Jamba Juice for me while you're there?
