best way to replicate the threaded conversation UI in twitter

Question

I will have a series of threaded conversations, and want to be able to display these threads in the most simple and intuitive way on the site. The twitter.com way of sliding into a reply makes a lot of sense.

What would be the simplest way to do this? Or are there any other interesting ways of displaying this kind of data?
