What's happening
Whether it's a "Game Day" announcement, a congratulatory post for a coach, or a score update at a big game - mentioning and tagging other Twitter accounts in your post can be a great way to extend your reach!
To help share these updates with a wider audience, you may be tagging local (and even national) media which will notify them when you post-- leading to re-tweets, follows, and ultimately greater engagement.
However, if you make a habit of tagging other accounts in your posts, you could run into a bit of confusion when looking at your Twitter account's profile. You may not be seeing some of your posts in your Twitter feed and wondering where they went.
You are not seeing these tweets because they are being sorted into the "tweets and replies" section of your Twitter feed (see below).
All tweets that start with the "@" symbol will be listed under "Tweets and replies" rather than the main feed, labeled "Tweets". Thus, when tweeting at a media outlet (to use our earlier example), if you started the tweet by mentioning them, it won't show up in the main feed! While a small issue, this can be confusing and bring less attention to your tweets.
Avoiding hidden replies
How can you avoid this? It's super easy! All you need to do is put some text (or a symbol) prior to the mentioned twitter account (you can also simply tag accounts at the end of your Tweet, rather than at the beginning). This can even be just a period, as is shown in the example below:
Notice how the tweet above now correctly appears in the main "Tweets" category.
