Twitter Relevance

[furtech]

You know what would make Twitter posts acceptable and possibly interesting? Relevance.

When someone Twitters a reply, it would help if Twitter posted the tweet they're replying -to-.

I'm only aggravated when I see posts like these:

"@booglewoogle Yeah, but that's what makes them really neat!#"
"@tangle Ooh! I want one too! #"
"@peter Yes, that was excellent. I hope the others are as good!#"

I hate those context-less posts! *Nnnrg!*

That varies now from client-to-client, but actually, the site does support that if you use the reply links (which leaves "in reply to" links on the tweet). I hate that it drops the context from some of them, most likely the ones that reply using a direct tweet or such.

What'd be useful is a syntax to be able to do replies from to guarantee @replies working, like @username-tweetid or something.
