@&#!!!! Twitter Wants To Own The Symbols With New Redesign

Screen Shot 2011-12-08 at 9.49.55 AM"We're trying to connect what's happening offline and across the web with Twitter," product manager Sara Mauskopf tells me today during the redesign launch event at Twitter's new headquarters. A key part of this means incorporating two features that were originally created by its users-- the "at" symbol (@) and the hashtag (#).Twitter now has more than 100 million people, and many of them still don't fully understand these symbols, even if they've seen them popping up across TV shows, billboards, and the rest of the world.
