Can I publish to a specific subscription in a SNS topic?

When I publish to a topic it hits ALL subscribers ALWAYS?

I have a topic with several subscriptions, sometimes I want to publish a message to just one of those subscriptions.

Is there a way to do this or do I need to create another topic and have the subscription in 2 topics? In that case I'm bugging the user (assuming this use case is to message users) twice right?

Yes -- when a message is sent to an Amazon SNS topic, all subscribers receive the message.

If you wish to contact a specific subscriber, your code will have to contact them directly (eg via email).

Amazon SNS also has the ability to send an SMS message to one or more recipients without using an SNS Topic. So, if your desired recipients are on SMS, this is a simple task.
