i can’t see your @replies (or a plea for a twitter app)

this was a long post about the power of discovery and missed opportunities but true to twitter fashion, I find that this gets more to the point:

twitterconversation

here’s some background of what i’m talking about: @biz’s May 12th post on the twitter blog mentions that while they’re changing some settings, they understand the “importance of discovery.” but it didn’t happen that way and people started to give feedback. we learn that twitter was unable to keep the setting as it had been previously. somewhere along the lines, communication from the twitter hierarchy failed to reach the rest of us and there was a kerfluffle.

this is my official and public plea for any app out there that might be able to restore the missed discovery. i want to be able to see @replies to people i’m not following.
