Twitter has begun rolling out a number of new features, which it says will make it easier to follow conversations.
Conversations will now be shown together rather than in a strictly reverse
chronological order, in a feature which has already rolled out to some
handsets and will now be updated in all iPhone and Android apps, as well as
twitter.com.
Up to three tweets will be displayed in sequence, with a line connecting them
to show they are part of the same conversation. If users want to view the
whole conversation they can tap on the first tweet.
The company said in a statement on Thursday: “From buzz about the VMAs to
debates around upcoming football games, people come to Twitter
to take part in these real-time, global, public conversations.
“To date, such exchanges haven’t always been easy to follow. With this in
mind, we’ve now made it easier for you to see conversations as they’re
taking place.”
Some
commentators have suggested the move will make the social networking
site more like Facebook,
with tweets becoming more like comments on a status posting.
