Let me give an example: Let's say I am UserA, and I send out this tweet:
"@UserB @UserC @UserD can't wait to see you this weekend for dinner with @UserE!!" Then only UserB will see that tweet in their Reply feed (because the tweet physically starts with "@UserB"). UserC, UserD and UserE are SOL and won't see this tweet in their Reply feed..... They would have to use the Search API to search for themselves to see this tweet and know they were mentioned... make a bit more sense? -Chad On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Jeff Bishop <jeff.bis...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Do you mean if I have something like: > > @jeff1, @jeff2, @jeff3 > > then jeff1 will appear but not jeff2 or jeff3? > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chad Etzel" <jazzyc...@gmail.com> > To: <twitter-development-talk@googlegroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 9:32 AM > - Show quoted text - > Subject: [twitter-dev] Re: getting replies to user if user is not following > the replying user > > > > On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Jeff Bishop <jeff.bis...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> I would prefer to get them in a feed like the Twitter API provides (like >> in >> a Status node).
