3ad.at - Threaded Conversations On Twitter

3ad.at is a new service which revolves around Twitter.

In essence, it will give Twitter users the chance to have structured conversations in a centralized spot. That is, users can start a forum-like discussion thread that will be feed by the tweets of those who take part of it. In this way, discussions among Twitter users are made possible in a threaded fashion, and everybody can see what went before and posting anything that might turn out to be redundant is avoided.



Using this site is as easy as it gets. All that the user has to do is to visit the site and then enter the starting tweet of the thread. Upon doing so, the tweet will be put his followers’ way, and they will be capable of start posting right there and then. All that the one starting the thread has to do is to authenticate by way of his Twitter account in order to set the process into motion. No other kind of information has to be disclosed.

Ultimately, this is a simple service that might not be that revolutionary but which is going to make the Twitterverse a somehow more ordered place for interactions. The site is quite rustic in design terms, but it does its part. You will either find it useful or totally uninteresting, according to which value you place on Twitter.
