Twitter undisputedly leads in Real-Time! That is HUGE! Not even Google, Yahoo or MSN can claim instant real-time tweets or text social platform. It will take time for Twitter to advance its social or search features, should it choose to go head-to-head with Google, BING or Facebook. Does Twitter have the potential? Of course, 50 Million tweets plus per day cannot be ignored. I like the way Twitter remains quiet then strikes with partnerships, new features and increasing users.

Imagine if Twitter created it’s own search engine and kept it’s tweets to itself? A powerful strategy.

Some people may complain that 3rd party apps will now dry up, but Hootsuite still has its advantages. This is just going to make Twitter more popular and bring more people into the nest… making everything more interesting.

Whoever uses Twitter is a loser my friend. An exception is for Marketing but if you use Twitter for other than that, let me guess… Either weed is involved or you sure have some serious low self esteem problem to address which can’t be done on 140 characters. There is an article about this somewhere.

So let’s recap.

- If you are a marketer and use Twitter, you are pardoned
- If you use Twitter for other thing than marketing, you sure need to start wearing a pair of cowboy boots to get you turned around.

I have on several occasion tried to sign up for the twitter account, but it just gives me an error, or a blank page..

So actually i cannot comment..

Latest gimmick pushed by developers and SEO charlatans to business as “YOU NEED THIS!!”

Fact is 90% of tweets are pushed by less than 10% of users, dropoff is dramatic. Average guy does what I did, checked it out and wondered, “so this is Twitter?”

Celebrities are paid to tweet (actually, their publicists are), CNN and Fox are paid for the mentions. Ever hear, “LeBron just Hotmailed that he’s leaning towards Miami” or “This just in, Yahoo email from Tom Cruise, ….”

However, for teenagers who want to know what Justin Bieber had for breakfast or SEO hustlers convincing businesses that tweets (twits?) generate sales – huge! For real people (employed) Twitter is a non-entity.

One thing I am sure all of us in twitterland wants is to have control over our old tweets. They definitely are a huge compendium of information and data. It should be for us as well or no? pretty useful for us once again, not just for them although that can be one of the main idea profit generation and we all know it. For example if i want to search for my 10,678 tweet (if they don’t get lost..shhhh) it will take my whole life to find it. They can use this then to place ads while people search for their tweet number 12,345,678,905

Now the redesign would be much more effective as only 140 characters were not sufficient to express all your thoughts and you have to edited your total expression according to the character limit as well. Now, the expression would be broad enough to tell everybody what you want to say. Redesign would certainly change the whole loon n feel also to bring it more attractive.

I’ve seen Twitter-driven sites that provide the same features exactly and more than the new Twitter. Twitter is just an overrated service that are still difficult to use for most of people, and the not-so-new design does not seem to help at all. I think author of the writer is not well informed about Twitter and related services.
