Crucial Twitter Shortcoming

I'd noticed this in the past, but it actually mattered this time because someone (see comments on previous post) was trying to contact me.

Twitter won't show you @mentions on your Home page from people you aren't following.  Normally this is because someone you aren't following could be having an @mention conversation with someone you are, and thus it keeps the page uncluttered.  But when someone who isn't following you @mentions you...  You have to open the @mention page to see it.

Also compounding this issue is the fact that Twitter doesn't show you how many unread @mentions you have.

Long story short, even though I'm not the guy the commenter on the post below was looking for, I'm helping with the issue.

I moderate comments because when Blogger originally implemented a spam filter it wouldn't work without comment moderation enabled. So if your comment doesn't show up right away, that would be why.
