I think twitter should stay simple as it is, simple like how many people got hook on it

Twitter is sort of going back against the simplicity it started with. The lists were a pretty logical step since it is really the only way to organize thousands of people you may be following.

It is nice being able to use lists rather than a third party site/program.

I also think it’s lame that you can turn off the retweet. Don’t follow someone if you don’t want to see everything they have to say.

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post.

I think Twitter only will verify the accounts that are having a lot of imposters… you have to fill out some form and prove your stalkers and I think actual people review it and somehow they decide you are the real you and verify it.

I don’t like that folks can turn off ReTweets. When I used Sponsored Tweets, sometimes they have to ReTweet for me to lower my CPC.

Anyway, I’m torn on whether or not I like the Twitter evolution in general. On one hand, Twitter is trying to fix their biggest issues, like spam, bots, and noise but on the other hand, the great thing about Twitter to begin with was its simplicity.

Not being able to edit the retweet is a major negative point that I didn’t mention in my post. I have to agree that it is really annoying too.

It has potential, but it needs work for sure.

This feature is not for everyone yet! Yesterday I saw a message flashed on my screen when I opened Twitter website, I was surprised to see this feature. This feature is useful but we can’t edit RTs, if we push the Retweet button it automatically tweet the post (Tweetmeme plugin offers editing of Tweets). But anyhow, its a nice initiative from Twitter and some development is required.

I’m not totally sold on it either. I like the idea of being able to see who else retweeted, but that really the only feature I think is good. Having the retweet button function like it does in hootsuite would be sufficient for me.

Still not sold on it, but I’m watching how it the retweet deal plays out.
