So, you can @reply straight to a member of TechRadar for instance, but not the @TechRadar account.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> The @reply change is one of a number of minor tweaks to the site. Earlier this week an image uploader button was introduced.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> With Facebook and Google+ integrating many Twitter-like features into their services by the day, it's likely that we will see this slow but steady evolution of Twitter continue.</div> </div> </div>
