Sometimes when visiting a Twitter profile page users can be inundated with a list of reply Tweets to other users instead of seeing what someone is up to.  This reply-heavy timeline typically ocurs during back and forth exchanges.  Today Twitter has announced the release of a reply-free user profile option to help users cut through the clutter and conversations.
