Twitter

I've recently joined twitter and it's highly addictive though often quite annoying.

I've been trying to follow a chat type session on #peptrends and it's like jumble update on uppers. I posted (and someone said they know someone working on it) that I want an app that can do timeline threading a conversation, back and forth exchanges.

Granted when more than two are involved it becomes a question of what to show where and how but it's not a new concept, just new to twitter which is a simplified version of Status keeping public updates. Replies/mentions are public when it isn't something private. Of course some people probably forget others might be peeking in on their exchange, but most use DM (direct message) when it's not intended to be public.
