A vanity mode :-) I guess you could kinda get these now, but you'd have to do client-side filtering to dump the stuff you don't want. -- Ed Finkler http://funkatron.com AIM: funka7ron ICQ: 3922133 Skype: funka7ron

Re: Search UI and API suggestions
-to: not working is indeed a bug. I'm working on a fix right now. As for the searching for replies, that seems like a good feature to add. Until recently the reply_to_id was wrong too often, but with some recent API additions that should no longer be the case. Please file an issue at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues and I'll see if we can get it into a future release.
