    TweetDeck has a good solution. Just do a global search on your own ID and you'll see all posts to you and from you in chronological order. You can do the same for an other ID you are watching because you can do mutiple global search panels.

    I was going to say the same thing, there is not one link to http://www.tweader.com (maybe that will help)

    Now there is! Thanks for the tips!

    And what happens to Tweader when Twitter adds threaded conversations? I think a lot of these companies that are coming up with incremental Twitter functionality are doing it simply in the hopes that Twitter will buy them - ala Summize. Unfortunately most of these "improvements" Twitter is capable of developing themselves, and they will in short order.

    People are going to be surprised at the increased functionality Twitter will be launching over the next 3 - 6 months.

    Then Tweader becomes irrelevant. Simple as that :-)

    Thanks for the info, I was just wondering the other day. I knew there had to be a way to do that an easier way. Less stress works for me.

    Many blessings

    It's kind of strange though that Twitter started like a "one-way" communication, people posting, what they are doing at the moment...then more and more people started replying and it's almost like a chat system, if it weren't for the 140 character limitation...

    And now people want threaded dsicussions as well, which makes me wonder -- why not just use a regular Instant Messenger in the first place...?! Because that's where Twitter is actually going...

    If they removed the 140 character limit it would probably turn into the biggest Instant Messenger tool ever, kicking Yahoo's, AIM' and MSN's butt, donÄt you think...?! Or people could have just used one of those from the very start, I guess...
  • Paul Glazowski · 1 year ago
    I think the 140 character thing is what makes it interesting. And besides, it all started around SMS. They're keeping it "old school" in that way. As for IM, well, you can have IM, or you can have Twitter. Twitter is great because it reaches lots of people at once. Kind of like a great big chatroom, except each user manages their own unique chatroom. Sort of.

    Can you imagine having an IM conversation with, oh, a couple hundred people at the same time?

    I admit the chat aspect of Twitter sounds at first a bit odd, but when you consider that you could be chatting with hundreds of people simultaneously, it makes a lot more sense why you wouldn't want to try that via IM.
  • MILE · 1 year ago
    Yeah, but it still makes me wonder...why did Twitter become such a huge success anyway, when it really isn't anything else that some (actually even limited!) variation of Instant Messaging...?!

    What if Yahoo or AIM had started something like a "public timeline"...?! Or why did people -- from no-names like us to "celebs" like Kevin Rose or Robert Scoble -- kind of hide their IM names, but don't have a problem publishing their Twitter names all over the net...?!

    I mean, if we had all done the same with our IM accounts, it would basically have been the same thing, don't you think...? Why didn't we...? Even nowadays when I get an IM from someone I don't know I tend to be cautious -- but when I see someone new following me on Twitter (or Plurk or whatever) I don't mind and most of the time follow them back...!?

    So did we really need all thse new tools and services, which aren't that new or innovative anyway or would the old ones (like IM) have sufficed if we had used them more openly...?!

    You might want to have a look at our site Dwigger too, which takes tweets and puts them in a threaded contect with vote buttons.

    I tried Tweader using several Twitter conversations that should have been pretty easy. I tried using even several different tweet record numbers. No luck. It included tweets not part of the convo and listed only one or two tweets from the actual convo. So I give it thumbs down and won't play with it again unless someone gives me adequate confidence that it will actually work.

    I'm left to wonder if any of the other people who posted comments to this topic actually tried to use Tweader.
  • Tweader · 1 year ago
    It works quite well most of the time. Here's a great example: http://tweader.com/conversation/927452549/

    Or you could use this Greasemonkey script - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30598

    Thanks for the positive feedback. :)
  • Karina · 1 year ago
    i don't understand so much about this twitter thing , is it like a social network or just a blog ?
  • Keith · 1 year ago
    Yes.
  • Ari Herzog · 8 months ago
    OK, so since Tweader is irrelevant for the reasons stated above, what is a worthy alternative that Quotably once had?
  • TweetStacker · 8 months ago
    Check out tweetstacker.com, I didn't see what Quotably did but I believe it's similar.
  • TweetStacker · 8 months ago
    TweetStacker does the same thing, but on your entire list not just a single thread. Its an always up to date list of threads you follow: http://www.tweetstacker.com It's a simple threaded twitter client.
