Another great PeopleBrowsr feature

A bit earlier today, I had been retweeting a number of articles and quotes on Twitter.  An Eddie Izzard quote prompted a response from @TalonNYC.  I will admit, on first look, the response seemed a bit non-sensical, because there was no context around which update he was responding to.

I have played with a number of Twitter clients, like TweetDeck, Seesmic, Sobees, bDule, and my latest toy, PeopleBrowsr.  All of these are Adobe AIR applications and some have web-interfaces as well.  Anyway, I received this response from @TalonNYC.

Nothing in the response to let me know which update he was responding to, right?

At this point in playing with PeopleBrowsr, I have not yet explored all features available, but I chose to explore the callout highlighted below.

When I clicked on this callout, the response expanded to show which update he was responding to, which helped put some context around the response.

I don’t recall any of the other Twitter clients supporting this, but then again, I don’t recall looking for this specifically, either.  For now, I am sticking with PeopleBrowsr, but if anyone can confirm or deny this ability in the other, let me know.

As I run across other things I find useful in PeopleBrowsr, I will post them for all.  See you all with the rest of the twits, uh, tweeters.
