Twitter announced today in a blog post that it’s changing the way it shows and deals with replies to tweets and grouping replies together.
[quote type=”border_left”]Conversations surrounding a Tweet, particularly if they’ve sparked lots of replies and disparate conversations, can be hard to follow,” said product manager Akarshan Kumar. So, we’re doing a few things to make this much easier: grouping conversations together and highlighting some of the most interesting exchanges surrounding a given Tweet right below that Tweet. To surface some of the most interesting conversations, we’ll take factors into account like whether the original account has replied.[/quote]
Each conversation will now be grouped by a line, showing a few Tweets in each conversation. Users can click a “View other replies” button to expand a conversation.
The change will be rolled out from today on the website, with Twitter’s mobile apps to follow soon.
