The other advantage to Plurk is that it doesn’t go down, they have had very little unscheduled downtime.

If it’s any consolation, there’s a newsfeed of your replies and you can also set it to notify you by mail. I find the feed sufficiently useful since I don’t get very many replies from random strangers.

Some clients will also poll both your replies and your main timeline and show them both in a single stream. Arguably that’s how it should be by default… then again, I find Twitter without a client to be a mostly pointless exercise.

ok that implementation is fucking moronic. A) I only see them under the replies tab B) twitter never bothers to IM them to me so unless i check the web page i never know they happened.

Thanks for sending me a tweet to prove that Aristotle. I’ll update the post.

Kate: that preference affects is whether you see @-replies addressed at other people are shown on your Recent tab. It has no bearing on your Replies tab, which always shows all @-replies addressed at you.

According to the Twitter docs

You have three options:

* all @replies: see all of the @replies made by people you follow, whether or not you follow the person to whom the reply is directed.
* @replies to the people I’m following: see @replies from people you follow directed toward other people that you also follow. This is the default setting.
* no @replies: never see any @replies in your timeline, ever

None of those options include @replies from people you are *not* following.

@Aristotle: I think it depends also on your account configuration

Actually, if you write a properly addressed @-reply to someone on Twitter, this will show up on their Replies tab regardless of whether they follow you or not. (Of course the Replies tab was disabled for a couple of days recently…)
