When a tweet is part of a discussion, it would be useful if an indication of that fact, along with the I'd of the last member's post be included in the timeline. When opening a message that is part of a discussion, the discussion should automatically load. The last could be an option in preferences. Oth of these features make it easier to put tweets in context and save taps at the same time.

See the photo attached to this tweet http://twitter.com/JohnnyPre/status/21241366268874753 to see an example of how BadKitty does this.

Thank you and thank you for all your hard work on a great product!

    I wouldn't want to do an automatic load o the conversation due to
    network usage and battery concerns.

    However, it should be easier to get to conversations, I agree. I'll
    think about this one.

    That's why I suggested making it an option in preferences so users could make which choice makes sense for them. Oh, and I guess I should have been clearer. The whole discussion would be displayed in the details screen, not the main timeline.

    So the flow would be:
    open timeline
    - see a tweet with a discussion I'd like to read - tap on tweet, tap on details - the tweet opens on the detail screen and if I've set the option to auto-load conversations the conversation is loaded also, otherwise the current tap for conversation appears

    Does that make more sense?

    Thanks for the super fast response!
