I completely forgot about the javascript badge in this other thread. A lot better than the Yahoo Pipes alternative.

We shouldn't need a third-party solution for this. Twitter should offer it as an option on their official badges, just like they do on the Facebook application.

Hmm, good points. There could be "magic words" but... ecch. It's impossible to add new features without adding complexity!

I vote for this option of no @replies as well. It doesn't make sense when I have just one post at a time on my blog, and it says "@johndoe this is a great story but no one knows the context of it because they only see one post at time".

It would be better to not have them in your blog badges.

Hi there. I can see why this would be a natural feature to request, but I personally would prefer leaving things the way they are, because there are times when people tweet '@location' (e.g., @main street) and it's not intended to be an @reply.

And I've seen many cases where people say '@me if you want me to follow you back' -- which is another example of this not being an @reply.

Hi there. There's currently no parameter available, unfortunately.

But you may want to explore the alternative described in this related thread.

Send bounce messages for mistyped @-messages

Occasionally I've started a message with "@whoever", but mistyped the "whoever". Of course then "whoever" doesn't see the message in their replies.

It would be very helpful if, when a user tries to @-message someone and types a name that doesn't exist (obviously if the typo version does exist, there's no way to tell who was really being messaged), that the system could send a direct message saying "the username you just tried to message: '@whoeverr blah blah blah...' doesn't exist, please check."

Your UK geocoder does seem to have fairly serious issues. I raised it a few days ago here but didn't get a reply yet:
