The problem with twitter replies is that they aren’t contextual. Anyone know how to ‘thread’ tweets?

Actually, there is a way in Twitter to weave replies into threads, which you may or may not have noticed.

When you post a tweet on Twitter.com or many apps including Crème, and it is a reply to another tweet, the site or app quietly captures this information in the tweet metadata. You cannot usually edit this metadata, but if you browse twitter.com, you see that some tweets are “in reply to” some tweet. If you then click on that link, you see what the reply was to, and so on. The same is true in many other Twitter apps.

This is what it looks like in Crème. If the tweet is part of a conversation, you’ll see a nice “Conversation” button.

When you tap the button, you’ll see the whole conversation that happened before this tweet. This is what the conversation view is like. Note that the conversation can involve several people.

You can participate in the conversation right there and then, by hitting the “Compose” button in the top right corner. Crème creates a new tweet as a reply to the newest one in the conversation, and also adds @mentions of all people in the conversation so far, so that all of them would be informed and the conversation could carry on.
