Handling Twitter crosspost-created 404s
using the @ symbol with usernames has the same behavior in BK and Twitter. Not everyone is using both applications, though.
Perhaps an alternate USER 404 page could be utilized that says "sorry, that person is not yet on BK, perhaps they're on twitter?" with the word "twitter" going to twitter.com/username.
I'm not sure if any other web apps use the @username method
