There are times when a big, fancy, powerful new feature in an iPhone app will knock your socks off. More often than not though, I think there are smaller, more workman-like features that turn out to be the real standouts, because they ‘re so useful so often.
The ‘In reply to ‘ feature in the Tweetie 2 iPhone Twitter client app is a great example of one of these ‘small ‘ standouts. When I first noticed it I thought it looked cool, but it didn ‘t blow me away. Now, after weeks of using the app, it does. In fact today I tweeted about how I miss it when using desktop Twitter apps.

It ‘s just so cool to see a tweet you find interesting, wonder what it ‘s about, and not have to wade back through the timeline of someone who was @ mentioned in it to figure out what it was a response to. To be able to just tap that lovely little button and see the flow of the conversation is great.
