Conversations-feature in Slandr Mobile Twitter premiering at SXSW 2009
A most wanted feature which has not yet been added to the Twitter API are the ‘conversations’. Having said that I am happy to announce that from now on you DO CAN HAZ READ ‘CONVERSATIONS’ ON DZE SLANDRZ TWITTR MOBILZ!
Why is the new conversations in Slandr method so cool? Imagine a tweet like:
- roelandp: ‘@slandr yeah that would be great’.
If you would see this in your timeline this tweet wouldn’t mean a thing. Context=everything as @2525 once said.
Clicking on the new button next to that tweet 
(conversation bubbles), brings you to the Conversations page, where the complete threat is displayed, which contextualizes the previous mentioned example tweet:
- slandr: ‘@roelandp would you like me to give you € 10.000?’
- roelandp: ‘@slandr yeah that would be great’.
Please note that Conversations is a wanted feature on the Twitter API development list, as I can conclude from threads in the Twitter development talk group. Enabling conversations through the API would be a great add-on for Twitter, as this is where Twitter is heading too. Ofcourse search is great for monitoring on going live events, but in depth listing of person-to-person chats is a must in the Moscow!
The ‘conversations’ implementation on Slandr is hack and only a hack. “Hacked by dope demand” -RoelandP . It is not supported by Twitter. Maybe it is even illegal, ooooh.
Happy conversationalising, Happy SXSW-ing, Happy Slandring.
Spread the word people! Slandr is the greatest mobile twitter client site out there! See you all at http://m.slandr.net
