Just got to know. #Twitter API has a provision to thread replies and mentions. http://tinyurl.com/dk9e23 : Look at in_reply_to_status_id #
@leif021 hehe. Was testing, with @kbhagava, how #Twitter establishes context between status updates & replies/mentions to them in reply to leif021 #
in_reply_to_status_id is an optional parameter. So a #Twitter client can ignore it & screw up the threading while posting/displaying #

Pros and cons of using #T4B (Twitter for Businesses) ? #
#T4B con: followers/cutomers will expect a faster response/turnaround time (compare with Live Chat and leave behind Email). #

#T4B pro: early starters (businesses) will have an edge over others to add another medium (Twitter) to reach out to customers #
@anilchop pls tag it with #T4B. I’m talking about a large business with a helpdesk monitoring all mediums in reply to anilchop #
