Why Viewing Conversations on Twitter Is Not Easy

Ever been misled while viewing conversations of two people using Twitter’s ‘View Conversation’ feature? Well, you are not alone. This seems to be a common finding amongst most tweeps as they claim that Twitter in many cases does not show complete conversations of users, thereby giving out only partial dialogues; usually only a pair. This needless ‘limitation’ can be particularly annoying while you are trying to read up on two peoples conversation and its shown to you as incomplete and therefore meaningless.

Conweets makes life much easier when it comes to tracking conversations. We do two things right. One, our algorithms scan an entire conversation no matter how long they are. And second, in most cases, previous conversations between the same two users are pulled up and displayed together in a single page. Hence, not only do trackers get a consolidated result, they also get a complete picture of what the two people have been talking about.

Images below clarify this issue quite clearly. What you will see below is the conversation between two Twitter users as viewed on both Twitter and Conweets. Notice the difference in the number of tweets coming up in each conversation.

Conversation via conweets-

This is a conversation tracked via Conweets. It shows all the 4 tweets which form a complete conversation

Conversation via Twitter-

This is the same conversation on Twitter, it only shows the last two tweets (even after it has been expanded)

As we’ve already mentioned, a conversation only makes sense when viewed in its entirety and that is clearly missing on Twitter and the need for a conversation tracker is certainly there. This is just what Conweets does for you, tracks conversations from Twitter and shows you the entire thread, in a way its meant to be shown.
