I've been trying to figure out how to do that.

Thanks

I thought that those type of replies would show up under the replies
tab anyway (i.e. there doesn't need to be a relationship between two
users (in either direction) for a reply to show up in the replies
tab).  I could be wrong, or maybe something changed...

However, if you head to http://search.twitter.com/ and search for
@user you will see all mentions of that user from all public accounts.
 You can grab the resultant search as an RSS/Atom feed if you like.

Jeff,
The search API [1] is drop dead simple. Say you have a search for any @reply
or mention to @twitterapi [2]. Changing the search URL to include a format
(json or atom) will give you a feed that can be parsed programmatically. For
example:

http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%40twitterapi

[1] - http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Search+API+Documentation
[2] - http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%40twitterapi

I am also wanting to insure that I filter those items that I already processed 
from the Twitter API.  I would rather not have duplicates.  It is unclear if 
the Search API will return to me the Twitter ID values of a tweet to ignore 
already filtered tweets from the Twitter API.  Sorry if this is confusing.

They will appear in the Replies Twitter API feed.  However, they will
only be ones that begin with @user.  If @user appears anywhere else
(what I call (and several others) a mention) it will not be in the
Replies feed...

Jeff,
A Search for @replies will return any tweet that contains a reference to the
user. The current implementation of replies from the REST API will only
return tweets that start with a reference to that user. Thus the result from
the search API is the superset of all @replies and public mentions of a
user.

2009-03-11 Thread Chad Etzel

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?
