Here is something I want: Marc Andreessen wrote something about colonialism and India last night, and today he apologized for it. I didn't see the original tweet so how about using all the Twitter data scientists to help me figure out context? Assuming that he didn't delete it already.

I guess what I want is when someone subtweets, to have a link to the tweet it's subtweeting about. Twitter's website is a functional mess and having to scroll timelines for context is a huge time sink.



In this case, he did delete the tweet soon after.


Yeah I figured this out once I read the article about it on recode.

I am pretty sure a lot of twitter power users would freak out over this kind of feature. One that integrates something similar to moments, but within the context of your timeline.

But twitter is a global product so when I wake up in the morning in the USA and see something like that apology tweet. I don't want to have to dig to figure out what's going on.
