Twitter is giving users the option to filter their interactions with other users more effectivley, designed to provide more information on account activity akin to the Facebook feed. The first update will see the @mentions column change to @’yourname’ to include information about @ replies and updates that the user has posted which have been ‘favourited’, as well as retweets of messages and recent new followers.
