This grew out of my curiosity as to what the structure of twitter conversations looked like, but as I developed it I found myself using it to follow conversations so I decided to release it as a bookmarklet.

this is neat, Twitter conversations are an interesting thing to me. accounts like @PopOwl are fun, and Twitter has been improving things in this area too, such as the ability to link to a tweet at the end of a conversation and thus see the whole conversation unfolded above, without the "ILY JUSTIN FOLLOW ME PLZ!!" spam
This is beautiful!
It is also a great way to show old school marketing (do this with an Obama tweet and you'll get an umbrella) vs. social media marketing (take any cool brand conversation and see how it becomes a tree).
thanks @paulgb
