If you post a lot of messages on Twitter, you may receive a lot of replies from people. Keeping track can be a problem, especially if you come and go from your computer throughout the day.
Twply aims to solve this problem with a new service that routes all replies (@YourName) to your inbox. It’s one of those services will probably appeal to some people but it could also be another tool that will hammer your inbox.
Would I use it? Probably not because Tweetdeck does a nice job of displaying any replies.

Update: There are some questions about Twply’s intentions given it was sold on SitePoint for $1,200 yesterday. Allen Stern suggestions everyone who tried Twply change their Twitter passwords.

Definitely spam. They just sold all the user data they collected in this one day to the highest bidder at http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/auctions/54573. Would recommend changing your Twitter password as a minimum if you've signed up to Twply.
Thanks for the insight. I've changed my password.
Changing all of your user info is good for those that were using the Twply app only? thanks for the heads up. any others out there doing the same as far as selling login info?
