')
Twitter started with a brilliant idea of ​​simplicity.
Restricted message size to 140 characters, forcing people to be brief and go straight to the point (as opposed to email or blogs).
I made one feed of messages, as opposed to many tapes on other sites.
Gave the ability to easily and simply write and respond from anywhere.
People love simplicity. Third-party developers have written many great applications. The simplicity of Twitter is one of the reasons why it is more pleasant to use it than
Facebook or
MySpace .
And now Twitter has added lists and the Retweet feature. And it seems they will not stop. Someone asks you to remove the 140 character limit, allow you to customize the profile page, and add many more different functions.
Not. Please do not add these features, do not overload the system with unnecessary features. I agree to accept the lists and Retweet, but please stop adding new features. Instead, focus on how to make what is, better. Improve the infrastructure so that the site never lies again. Improve your search. Get rid of spam. Make the unfollow process easier. Simplify the site,
too much information falls on us already.
Or even better, make your protocol open to allow messaging with
Identi.ca and other services. So that we are not tied to one site. People don't like to be tied.
Please Twitter, keep it simple.
