It a welcome comeback for sure. Users already leverage systems like Twitter's 'Like' button or replying to a thread just to go notifications about information technology. Having the feature congenital-in to Twitter should aid reduce clutter in conversations by letting people follow along without posting their own reply.

Unfortunately, you probable won't see this characteristic on your Twitter for a while. Wong tinkers with social media services to uncover upcoming features long before they actually release.

Twitter also recently released an app to examination more meaning overhauls to conversations and other parts of the service. Called 'twttr,' the app is just on iOS for now, and you'll need to sign upwardly to go far.

These new changes mark efforts from Twitter to meliorate problem areas of its service and will hopefully pb to an improved Twitter in the hereafter.
