Very well done!
It seems a little iffy on associations of tweets as replies... but I guess that's the nature of twitter.

yeah, unfortunately it is. At present it uses the same threading algorithm as twitter does, namely: if there's an @username in a tweet, assume it's responding to the last tweet of that user. I may look to do something smarter down the road.. we'll see.

here's an idea. Make a message to @B from A be a reply to the last message from B to @A if any.

the issue is time decay. The last point in that conversation shouldn't be the parent of a new conversation N hours later.

Congratulations! With your tool, I can finally understand some of my twitter-centric friends and acquaintances.
And most importantly, Thank you for demonstrating the power of a well-executed concept (and showing that it is possible to build something interesting and useful in a weekend.

#18Very cool. One thing I noticed is that it has "all" messages posted, including ones the user may have deleted off of their Twitter feed... Seems that once it is sent out into the Twittosphere, you can't actually retract the message, even by "deleting" it. So, this makes for an interesting way to see everything ;)

#19I'd like a page that lists all the updates from those that I'm following (like a standard Twitter client) but with a link to expand the conversation around each update

Time decay might be a factor, but I think you'll get better results than making everything be a reply to the last update from that user. Once you find out what the magical N number is you can throw that in as well.
