Hidden Replies on Twitter

Twitter has been testing the ability to hide replies with certain audiences for a while, but soon the feature should be coming to all Twitter users.

This will be a huge step change, assuming people take advantage of the feature which I'd predict will be most popular with brand managers wanting to better shape their brand conversations online.

Here are screenshots from Twitter's mentions and replies help page, showing how the feature will work once it arrives.

Are you keen to see this feature arrive for all users? Or do you feel it will change Twitter in ways people as yet don't realise?
