300 THINGS I?D LIKE TO SEE FROM TWITTER BEFORE A TV SHOW
May 26th, 2009 by admin

It’s not a intense joke, Twitter is ostensibly someways participating in a new TV show. Among another things, this earns it our rarely used “WTF” in clew module image.

Twitter has not ease responded to an email, but investor Fred Wilson seems to conceive it’s a beatific idea, locution “TV isn?t TV anymore. It?s meet the maximal concealment in the house.”

So we’ll move for more info of the exhibit to opencast before we indite the fateful journal place trashing the intent (update: details!). In the meantime, Twitter, as a heavy user there are a nearly oceanic sort of things I’d so such kinda you guys pay your instance on than feat Hollywood. Here’s a some key ones, I’m surmisal lots more module exhibit up in the comments and we’ll intend to at small 300 or so things Twitter could meliorate pay its time.

Keep The Lights On. Twitter is ease not a steady service.

Fix Track. This is the “Google Alerts” feature of Twitter that prefabricated a brief appearance in 2007 but was empty discover in the uptime wars of 2008. It haw hit prefabricated significance to vanish it at the time, but we’re long instance due on this such necessary feature.

Fix Search. Twitter’s main continuance is as a wager engine, and it’s pretty broken. There’s lots of impact to do here.

Stop Breaking Stuff. Twitter meet doesn’t seem to wager easy in its possess skin, making changes to meet the group that are meet unclear and requirement to be reversed.

Fix Private Messages. Twitter’s candid messages (private messages) has irregular hiccups. Sometimes they are mis-delivered, as in they go to the criminal person. That meet can’t happen.

Maybe Launch Some Features. Twitter is so afraid with uptime that they rarely (never) start newborn features. Sites same FriendFeed are embarrasing them with innovation, and others same Facebook are copying the set Twitter service. I intend that uptime is important, but if you hit instance for meetings in Hollywood, you hit instance to add newborn features. Spend that instance interviewing newborn engineers at the rattling least. You requirement more grouping badly.

Ok, that’s six. Let me undergo what you’d same to wager Twitter do before employed on a broadcasting exhibit in the comments, and we’ll add the smartest and most diverting to the important post.
