Twitter tests out labels for conversation threads

Twitter is testing out a new way for its users to make sense of the threads. The social network has added labels—which include author, mention, and follow. This is said to make it easier to prevent spam as well as adds some context and clarity to a jumbled thread. Some users claim these are distracting and unnecessary, but Twitter seems adamant to try out new things and find ways to make it easier to track conversations on its service. What do you think? Do you find this useful?

We want it to be easy to follow and join conversations on Twitter. We’re testing out labels on replies: author, mentioned, and following. If you see them, let us know what you think! pic.twitter.com/L228sMbh75
