Tagging people in posts doesn't do anything to notify anyone unfortunately :)

It's a thing that really ought to though. I'd upvote that feature.

Tagging the founders does not do anything - it does not notify them as it might on say Twitter. I suspect they will see it anyway since it as at the top of the promoted list or because someone they know might notify them.

I dunno, I have my own notify bot, maybe they do too? Worth keeping in mind that tagging can't be assumed as part of the platform though.

I did not know that and will be more careful about using your name in the future. I hate it when I get a flood of notices about casual conversation including my name.

I wouldn't mind something like that myself:) I actually use Steemwatch instead but it is currently down.
