If you removed the @ and he wasn't following you, he'd *never* see it, but with the @ he would (if he went to the replies tab in the browser). Other people might not see it at all if they weren't following *him*, even if they are following you, based on their settings. Of course in this case Steve would always see it, since he tracks "stevegillmor". The SmartSearch thing is a neat fix, but I use Twitter in the GChat windows client, not the browser, so that doesn't help me there.... Really want a rich client that relies on Jabber, but none such exist yet that I know of.... 1 small clarification; as I understand it, the “@” problem has more to do with *other* people not seeing your comment to @stevegillmor more than it has to do with Steve’s not seeing it.

But it looks very similar to Twitterfox which is okay too. Jack - One of the problems I have is that I can't access normal chat at work since I surf through a local proxy which limits me to normal web stuff as well as FTP access. But I can never seem to get IRC working at all. Although to be honest I haven't tried Pidgin here with GTalk. I may give it a go. Coach Fu - I don’t use iGoogle.
