I am still not sure I quite understand what this article is referring to about the changes on the reply back. Is there a website that you could recommend to all new Tweets which has a basic instruction sheet and glossary for terms such as “RT”. Fortunately, one of the posts led me to this site, and I have learned much today by stumbling on his link. <br><br>I don't think though that hiding peoples address sites is good though...the one think good about Twitter is the ability to float around and be introduced to interesting people and interesting links. FaceBook and MySpace are more controlled for friends primarily, but Twitter helps me find people of interest that are not necessarily in my circle of friends, and that is what makes Twitter unique.

We're already getting plenty of "Twitter is overcapacity" messages when Tweeting. My assumption was that it is correctable when it becomes a larger problem, but . . . who knows? At least I have the demonstrated ability to quit habits cold-turkey. :-) Very interesting take on the scalability of Twitter infrastructure.

Obviously, this is not a dumb phrazing. So, now you have to be actively aware & actively trying to get around the system:

That is irritating, takes up unnecessary characters & requires that you know about the new un-feature. When all they have to do is bring it back.

Twitter needs to bring it back — it was implemented perfectly as an opt-in, opt-out feature, except I would make seeing all @ replies the default.
