If you’ve been stuck in voice mail hell, here’s some bypass codes. Also are two sites that can assist you in identifying direct dial phone numbers: Get Human and Dial a Human.

hashtagGet everyone to see your Twitter replies when using #Hashtag as FIRST word.
If you want others in your Twitter stream to see your replies, place the DOT before the # as: .#  ... if your replies begins with a word without the #hashtag,  it’s not necessary to add the dot in front of the opening word.
Let’s just say, for this example, that you creating a Tweet or ReTweet and you want EVERYONE on your stream to see it, put the DOT right before the # (i.e., like this: .#) at the beginning of the RT or the original creation.
 .#Speaking on your #book expands your expertise--key tips on creating a #TEDtalk or short talk. Listen to podcast: ow.ly/L94q8
If you write the Tweet and then add #speaking in the middle of the Tweet, the .# isn’t needed. Like this:
WOW ... creating a #TEDtalk or short talk will skyrocket your #speaking gigs. Listen to podcast: ow.ly/L94q8
I know it seems a tad confusing. Before the .#, only the intended recipient hashtag group has the opportunity to see it--no one else in your stream unless they too check in with the # used. When you add the dot before the # at the beginning of a Tweet or RT, then everyone who follows you will see it. If you are in a Twitter chat, this is a must to remember.
