How did I forget to post about this?  I’m a bit of a flaky geek sometimes.  BeTwittered features now include tabs for viewing replies, your favorites, and direct messages to you.  Admittedly, the tabs are rudimentary right now, but they work.  Sometimes I chose to release features and do the “prettying up” incrementally.  I favor ...
