Twitter Thoughts After A Few Days Usage

I’ve been using Twitter for a few days now and it’s not as bad as i thought it would be, but it definitely needs some tlc before I become a fan.

Here are some twitter features I’d love to see:

  1. I’m ‘only’ following 192 people and I’m struggling. There is no way I can really follow their posts. How on earth do people follow thousands of people? Twitter seems to be a numbers game and sorting options are desperately needed:
    • Need to be able to isolate top friends
    • Need to be able to search my homepage for certain keywords
    • Be able to see how may tweets since last visits, by person etc
  2. Why is the search engine not integrated and on a seperate page?? This looks potentially a very powerful tool
  3. Be able to sort my followers by whether they are mutual, how long they’ve been following, how many followers they have etc
  4. to be able to find people based on topic not just their name

I’ll carry on using twitter as I think it’s a good promotional tool, but at the moment I just can’t see myself using it as (yet another) a new way to chat with friends.
