According to a report from Mashable, Twitter has begun testing a new feature that allows users to @reply, or "mention," another user directly from that person's profile page. The feature is similar to a wall on Facebook and would make it easier for users to mention another person on Twitter. The tweets are public and the feature is currently being tested with a select amount of Twitter users.
The micro-blogging service has been criticized about its @reply system because currently, if someone wants to mention another user, they either need to directly type in that person's Twitter username or reply to a tweet from that person.
It's not clear when this might be released to all Twitter users. Are you looking forward to this feature?
