to "At Me" App
You may have noticed that the @ replies you see through "At Me" App
are inconsistent with those you see through Twitter's web interface.
This is because "At Me" App has always returned only public @ replies.
This means that you'll only see @ replies that are from Twitter users
who have a public profile.

The reason for this is simple: "At Me" App can't return @ replies from
private Twitter users unless it has valid Twitter credentials for the
the user requesting @ replies.

There is now a way to provide "At Me" App with valid Twitter
credentials so you'll see both public *and* private @ replies, instead
of just public ones.

To enable this feature, simply submit this command to "At Me" App (via
SMS, of course!):

atme p [username] [password]

[username] and [password] should be replaced with your Twitter
credentials. Don't forget the "p" which stands for "password." There
is a single space between each piece of text.

Once received, "At Me" App will then try to always provide you with a
mixture of both your public and private @ replies - which should be
exactly what you see when logged into Twitter's web interface, looking
at your Replies section.

Please note: "At Me" App *must* store your Twitter credentials to
perform authenticated requests - this is the only way to pull this
information. If you are not comfortable providing your Twitter
credentials, you absolutely do not have to. You will still receive
accurate public @ replies while using "At Me."

Please submit questions or bugs to this group.
