This is a good idea and I'd like to use it, but it needs presentational work for adoption, I suspect.

In particular, I don't think that people without a software background are going to be comfortable with the abundance of syntactic sigils. Even in the twitter-native world, I think it will makes the product seem intimidating and un-natural (at least at first).

This is especially a concern because the value of using them is not immediately clear (excepting @person).
