Issue 15: Get conversations
Status:  New

Please describe your feature request in here

Everything is wonderful but it doesn't get the other half of conversations. It would be useful to get 
all items with @mytwitterid from twitter search so I would get retweets and replies and mentions. 
OK to have them all intermingled - can analyze them myself once I have them.

thanks!

Twitter have now whitelisted the app and we have raised our limits
accordingly. Because of the way Tweetake works we have to have some limits
but they are now much more generous.

Still don't seem to get all the times my @twiiterid has been mentioned.  How far in
time does Tweetake go?

Sorry, I closed this issue in a bulk edit after the whitelisting without properly
re-checking what it's about. What you are after would be a new feature, as we don't
currently support the mentions request. 

If we did implement it, there would still have to be a limit on numbers returned
because of the nature of the application. So if you became a trending topic you would
still only get a recent sample of the total, not every single mention.

Since you are the only person asking for the feature so far, it's not going to be a
high priority for us. I've changed the status back to New, anyway.

Would this also apply to replies only not direct messages to @twitterid?

Yes. Twitter doesn't have the concept of a reply, just a mention. As far as Twitter
is concerned the messages
"Hey @fred are you there?"
"@fred thanks for that"
"RT @fred dogs are funny"
"Follow @fred he's brilliant"

are all just mentions. There will be a new feed for retweets soon, but that's only
possible because of the RT convention.

We're also looking for this feature.  We need to keep track of @mentions as well as our tweets.  Thanks for considering adding this feature, and it's a great app so far!
