It seems that all the buzz this morning in the Twittersphere is centered around Tweetree, a new service that attempts to thread related conversations in Twitter. Considered an alternative for those who read and post updates through Twitter.com, Tweetree also allows people to share content directly in the timeline. By simply including a link from YouTube, Flickr, TwitPic, FriendFeed, Seesmic, Qik, Lala, or Blip.fm, Tweetree embeds the content inline for others to enjoy without leaving the service.
Personally, I am a big fan of an integrated experience and having access to pictures, videos, audio in my Twitter stream. However, the conversation threading leaves much to be desired. As TechCrunch points out, Quotably did a better job of organizing discussions. Unfortunately, Quotably has since shut down.
Tweetree is the creation of Draconis Software, a boutique web development company in Woburn, MA.
