“We’re updating the Replies feature and referring to it instead as Mentions. In your Twitter sidebar you’ll now see your own @username tab. When you click that tab, you’ll see a list of all tweets referencing your account with the @username convention anywhere in the tweet.”

It’s a nice feature and I will enjoy having it. However, this feature was dropped on the developer community like a giant sack of potatoes. No warning. Just a big spud bomb. There are actually quite a few implications of this in the API side if you’ve been relying on Replies to behave one way and now it will start including many more tweets. If you change the Twitter UI (which they did)…fine, no big deal…you show more tweets now. But with the wide range of web and desktop apps that use the Twitter API out there in production, I really can’t believe that there was no warning or time given to actually test this feature out. IMHO, there should have been better communication/coordination with the developer community.
