Twitter needs to fix it's "in reply to" function.

There are a number of things twitter could and should do better. I thought I'd list a few, based on my experience.

"In Reply to" to me, is the biggest time-wasting feature that needs fixing.

There is no way to know what tweet you are going to be taken to when you click on the "in reply to" link. Sometimes you can trace a conversation backwards, but more often than not, it will take you to a completely different conversation.

The "reply to" arrow is only featured on the timeline. If you are browsing a user's profile, or a specific status, the "reply to" arrow is absent.

This seems like something that should be addressed by twitter.
