TOT: Any Twitter Users?

Question

Gentlemen,Anyone here use Twitter? I have to confess I just don't get the layoutat all. Seems very confusing, but that might just be my advanced ageand inevitable encroaching senility. One thing that's bugging me is Ican't see what other people have replied to someone's tweet. Forexample, If I read a tweet from say Jeremy Clarkson and want to seewhat his respondents make of it, I expect to see replies from them byclicking the 'replies' symbol on the far left hand side. But all I getis an empty dialogue box inviting me to add my 2p worth. I can't seeanyone else's 2p worths, not even if I chip in mine. How do I seeeveryone else's replies?- confused.

Is this not where hashtags come in though. What you don't want to do is follow all sorts of dingbats. I seldom use it but it does seem to wake up companies who otherwise ignore your calls and emails. They don't like bad publicity. Brian

Many people like myself hate the way things are filtered and all of that, and many use clients now. One that springs to mind is called Twitterific. Brian

What puzzles me is seeing to what previous tweet the one I amreading has replied/ reacted.Chris

Chris J Dixon · Answer

If I am reading "Latest tweets", sometimes in the list will be a tweet that is clearly in response to another one, but I don't know how to view it.

AFAIK the presentation is chronological. I can find responses to any of them, but not what they are responding to, if they do not quote/ retweet.

At that point, cancel your membership of twitter, facebook, tiktok reddit and make a stiff gin and tonic and start to enjoy life...
