My Twitter Wish List: 3 Little Things

by nathan on April 18, 2008

I love twitter. I admit it. Though I was initially reluctant to join and participate, I’ve seen the light, and use it all the time. Since I started using twitter religiously, I’ve noticed a few things that are annoying. There are a 3 improvements that could be made that would make twitter that much better.

  1. Comment thing- Sure, it’s a pipe dream, but it would be kind of cool, no?
  2. Groups- I would love to be able to categorize the people I follow into groups. That way I could check updates much like I do with my RSS feeds. For instance, I could create a "matchmine" group, and I’d be able to click on it to see all of the people I follow from work.
  3. Sorting options- I get individual emails when new people follow me. Rather than clicking through individual emails, I’d love it if I could sort followers by "Newest", or "Not Following". That would immediately let me see the people that follow me that I have not yet followed.

I want to make it clear that I’m not complaining about twitter (hear that, @chelpixie). I love twitter, and complaining seems like bitching about a gift. I mean, it’s free, and I’m using a service that is great. These are just some ideas that would make twitter a little bit better.

Do you have any twitter improvement ideas?
