Twitter plans threaded conversations, 'who is online' feature

San Francisco

Twitter is planning to roll out threaded conversations like Facebook along with status indicators -- showing who else is online among your followers -- on its platform.

In a tweet, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said that the micro-blogging platform will soon get interesting updates.
 
"Playing with some new Twitter features: presence (who else is on Twitter right now?) and threading (easier to read convos)," Dorsey tweeted, along with some samples.
 
The "presence" feature will make it easier to engage with those you follow who are online at the moment.
