Enjoy Gmail like Clustering of Twitter Conversations with Tweader

Asma Kaleem 

TWeader logoTweader is a newly incubated Twitter app that lets you track the conversations across the twitter i-e you can now glance the cluster of @replies. This is something that should be implemented by the twitter itself to enhance the user experience but unfortunately the mighty whale still relies on various conversation tracking services to boost its users fidelity. Tweader has a simple interface that only requires the status ID of the message in the conversation you would like to track. On inserting the status ID (that can be found by clicking the timestamp), the service will fetch you the conversation before your entered message. Thus, it will not allow you to track the whole conversation or in other words does not provide you with an stream of conversations.

Apparently, the service seems useful. But it does not support the core purpose of showing/tracking all the conversation rather it will ask you to re-enter the status ID after every next update. This could be regarded as a major hole as Twitter Search (formerly known as Summize) serves the same purpose in an user friendly and much reliable manner; it provides you with a wholesome collection of tracked @replies by inserting a twitter name only. Tweader has to improve a lot to mark its nail. The service should improve its tracking mechanism and introduce various nifty features to attract users .

Below is the screen shot of Tweader page that again requires the ID:
