Visual Twitter with Eclipse ZEST and Neo4jPlayed a bit with my own twitter client and pimped it to visualize replies. It uses Neo4j for the relationships and Eclipse GEF ZEST for the visualization.

The Radial layout algorithm does a good job though, but it's not the perfect solution for this problem (left side). Applying first the Radial layout and then the Horizontal Shift layout however shows a nice effect (also added profile images):
