I am looking to find out if there is a method in place or a link to an
rss for an individual conversation. I want to be able to follow a
specific line of conversation, without having to follow all of a users
tweets.

Thanks,
Chris

Twitter isn't really threaded, so there is no simple way to follow a specific
convo. You could try walking the reply IDs but there is no guarantee these
will be attached to the correct tweet.

Hi Chris,

There isn't currently a way to track replies like that. I'll add
a comment on to the ticket for a conversation API [1].

Thanks;
