Twitter messages are 140 characters max, including spaces, so you have to think about what you write and how to make it fit. The #, hashtag, is used to group messages together so that the topic can be searched easily and treading topics can also be seen. For example, #QuinnAndRose, #Ukraine, #Benghazi, etc. They cannot contain spaces.
For usernames, you have the @ that is used to mention other users or reply to others so that they will see it and be referenced in it. The @username also allows someone to open information to that user. You would need to know that username and it would have to be their registered name. For example, Jim’s username is @warroom and Rose’s username is @MadWomanDiary. If you want to reference them, then use these in place of an actual name.
