Bug Description
Since revision #153 (http://
However, as a result of this change, we now miss any tweets that don't start with @username (i.e. those that aren't marked as replies to you specifically). Therefore, to solve this issue, we should also perform a twitter search for '@username -to:username' to pick up those tweets that reference you but aren't specifically marked as replies to you. We should then merge the lists holding the results of these two sources (sorting by tweet id or time), trim the resulting list to the desired overall size, and then display.
This solution allows us to keep the in reply to links for responses specifically to us, but prevents us from missing out on tweets we wouldn't have seen otherwise.
For an even better solution we could add an 'in reply to ...' clickable link, that when clicked will request the info about that tweet id from the twitter api (which will have any reply_to information in it) and replace the ... with an appropriate link.
