Twickie gets Twitter conversations right

February 23rd, 2009 § 0 comments

With the advent of “@ replies” on Twitter, conversations on the online service have begun to get harder and harder to follow. That is until now. Thanks to Chris Pirillo’s inventiveness and the coding abilities of view2gether, a new service called Twickie is now available to track your conversations.

When you login, you will be able to see all of your tweets, underneath of which you will see two buttons. The “Get @s ↑” button will get all of the tweets that were @ replied and display them in descending order (newest first). Likewise, the “Get @s ↓” will retrieve those tweets that were @ replied and display them in ascending order (oldest first).

It doesn’t end there, however, you can also copy and paste a full HTML version of the tweet conversation to your blog (or other place on the interwebs that accepts HTML). When you are viewing a conversation, just click the “Copy Full” button and then copy/paste the resulting HTML code snippets. You can also click Advanced to get options for copying only CSS or HTML.

If you end up using the service often (which, why wouldn’t you?) then you might want to install the “Bookmarklet.” Just drag the link that says “Bookmarklets” to your bookmark toolbar. Now when you are on a Twitter permalink page you can click this bookmark to instantly see all of the conversations that follow along with the tweet you’re currently viewing.

Amazingly, this service is free and easy to use. Just head over to http://twickie.pirillo.com/ to get started. Below is an example of the pasted HTML code that the service gives you. Sure beats taking screenshots of the Twitter page, doesn’t it?

jakematic: Thought about it. Not excited to drive all that way just to see the opening.
