Hi there,
That has always been the case on search.twitter.com. We're working on how to support conversations better both on the site and via the API using things like in_reply_to_id. We'll keep you posted as new stuff becomes available.
Thanks; — Matt Sanford On Jan 27, 2009, at 05:30 PM, drupalot wrote:
I'm not sure if it's always been this way or if it's a new development, but I noticed for the first time today that the only Tweets with a "show conversation" thread attached to them in search.twitter results are @reply Tweets. Just to emphasize, I mean that only Tweets that being with "@[username]" have conversation- threads attached to them. Regardless of how someone replies to a a particular Tweet, it will not display a "show conversation" thread unless the original Tweet begins with an @reply. This seems strange. Has this always been the case? Is there a reason for this? Is there any way to find conversations that don't begin with an @reply tweet? I can explain why this is important for our mashup, but wanted to start with this question.
