Twitter changes Replies to Mentions
Twitter waited a bit too long to implement this feature. But better late than never!
The Replies section has been spruced up and reads as @username instead. From now on you can expect to see all mentions of your username (tweets containing your username not only at the beginning but anywhere in between) to be available under the @username section.
This new feature not only gives web users a reason to rejoice, but it also makes twitter app developers' work a bit easier. Until now, every app developer (if they wanted to display tweets containing your username anywhere in it as an @reply) had to make use of the twitter search API along with the regular twitter API for retrieving all your replies. But not any more!
