If a conversation gets more than one reply deep, I don't see how anyone could hope to follow it. One of my least favorite things about Twitter is when someone posts fifteen @ replies to people I don't follow. Pulling people's tweets out of the timeline would render conversations between people I do follow just as useless as those between people I don't follow. I guess it depends on how you personally use Twitter, who you follow, and how you like to follow them. I'm always a fan of having options. They do need to hide the overflow on posts with long links or something though. :) That is an interesting idea, but Twitter is a very chronological platform.

I'm one of those people who prefer things laid out in grids, with items grouped consistently (eg. all recent messages grouped by author) instead of the chronological, "river" view that others prefer. That's it, really. The feedback I've received so far has been positive -- I'm assuming it's because there are other like me. At any rate, I believe in releasing early and often. Upcoming versions will feature full Twitter client functionality for those who prefer the Gridjit environment. If you feel like taking another look at it then, I'd welcome any feedback. If not, thanks for taking the time so far. Best, Ray Hi Whitney –
