Hi, i had the idea of dabr to show me the text of the tweet that i'm
replying to.
(sorry for my english, i'm chilean :D).

i opened the issue #144, but i wanted to know what do you think about
it, and if it's possible to be included on the official dabr site :D

---------------------------------------------
What would you like dabr to do?
That when i reply to a tweet, it shows me the text of the tweet
instead of
'In Reply to tweet ID XXXXXXXXX'

How would you prefer dabr to do it?
/common/twitter.php:814

$request = "http://twitter.com/statuses/show/{$in_reply_to_id}.json";
$status = twitter_process($request);
$content .= "<p>In reply to tweet \"{$status->text}\", ID
$in_reply_to_id...</p>";

It would be useful, maybe, a substr to not show the whole text.

Hi

It is important with Dabr to reduce API requests as they are the
slowest part of the system. Over 95% of the time waiting for Dabr to
load is time spent waiting for the Twitter API to respond.

For this reason I cannot add this functionality to the site - it would
make the page twice as slow to load (approx 5 seconds on average).

Hi David,
How about issue 91's workaround? In most cases, this should be enough :-)
