I’ve seen “@user: blabla” in blog comments way before I’d even heard of Twitter.

If one influenced the other at all, I’d say it’s the other way around.

Yup. That about covers it. Minor disagreement with the history of the use of @. That’s been going on in blog comments for as long as there have been blog comments. I think the migration was in the other direction.
