You Said What To Whom!? Track Twitter Conversations With Bettween.com
This is actually pretty cool, and it’s one of those things that really should come built right into Twitter.
Bettween.com lets you track conversations between any two Twitter users. Simply punch in their names (or click on one of the pre-selected pairings on the front page) and away you go.
Alternatively, if you enter just one name in the first search box (yours, for example), the site will track down every person you’ve ever have a conversation with, and you can then read those marvellous discussions at your leisure.
Using the magic of Twitter’s API, it even goes back further than the seven-day limitations imposed by Twitter’s (fairly rubbish, at least in this aspect) search function.
It can take a few minutes to find all your tweets the first time you use it, but once pre-loaded, Bettween.com promises to be a lot faster next time.
The site is still in beta, and I’m sure there are one or two bugs waiting to spring on the unsuspecting, but this is a handy tool, and while I’ve seen other Twitter conversation trackers before, they haven’t felt quite as natural as this.
I like it. Have a play around and see what you think.

Been waiting for this sort of thing for ages! Hurrah!
I needed someone to pick (besides myself), so I picked you. I got a screen that said something like “Whoa! These folks have a LOT of tweets! This could take a while!”
I think we been dissed, dude.

Yeah, you get that. It has to work out all the conversations from our combined history. Collectively, we have about 25,000 tweets – mostly me – so there’s some work to be done.
Takes about five minutes or so, I’ve found.
As for the accuracy, as said there are a couple of bugs in the system that will be hopefully be ironed out. Still good for nostalgia.
And when it finished, it said we’d talked six times, with a total of seven messages, and I KNOW that’s wrong.

Tested bettween, and it works really well to grab old twitter conversations, with a nice interface. Just wanted to let you know that you can also archive all your tweets, including @replies and DMs (as well as messages from emails, other social networks etc) using Silentale: https://silentale.com.
