Doug, I second Mike's suggestion to codify RTs. I have clients who want to track RTs for two scenarios: 1. To find their brand influencers, as to who did the rts as they are their brand advocates. It would be helpful to get to this in a quick ap - track rts by person, how many rts of same

Superb update Doug, having all mentions of your username picked up via replies/mentions is a real improvement which, from the TweetDeck experience, has led to a marked increase in the use of @usernames in a more conversational style. More importantly, it has also enabled/ encouraged the use of

Hi all, One thing to keep in mind when thinking about any meta-data fields is that they are invisible via SMS. Some features that's ok for (like the exact status it was a reply to) but the text of the message itself should have enough context to be clear to the recipient. @user yes,

Peter, When the in_reply_to_status_id is set, the Web GUI appends the in reply to user to the tweet. Therefore, we want to confirm that status_id is owned by a user mentioned in the tweet before accepting the in_reply_to_status_id. This constraint permits a less confusing user experience by

Are replies created by setting the in_reply_to_status_id with the statuses/update method affected by this change? There are some clients that set the id when doing things like retweeting -- and these may or may not have a reference to a user's screen name in them. Will these tweets continue to

Craig, Great questions. The in_reply_to_status_id will be honored only if the value is a status_id that was authored by a user that is also mentioned in the tweet. Therefore, if you include a status_id for this parameter and that is either 1) invalid or 2) does not belong to a user mentioned in

Great, this will be a helpful change. Any discussion of codifying Retweets in a similar way in the search API? It seems like they are also a subset of Mentions where 1) starts with RT 2) includes a @mention 3) rest of the content (fuzzy) matches a previous tweet by the @mention tweeter.
