I am a very mild user on Twitter. I have another account besides the @workcandy. and I use Seesmic and Twhirl to keep up on the web. On my phone I use Twidroid, which hasn’t been acting well.
15 minutes ago I noticed some extra flair on Twitter.
Power Twitter is right.
Finally they added a URL shortener. That is the main reason I looked for other Twitter clients. It was annoying to get on another site, shorten the copied url, copy that, and paste into Twitter.
I don’t know what I think of adding pictures directly in the stream. It begs for more pictures to be added and for spammers to hock their wares. Time will tell if photos are good or not. Eventually, and maybe they have, they might add a “no photo, just link” option in the Twitter stream.
And probably my biggest frustration and the one that creates the Twitter client necessity, RETWEETS!!! Once again this might be something that gets abused but I love to be Retweeted and love to share with others the cool stuff that is out there. This is huge.
One a smaller scale, but very helpful, if you roll your mouse over the avatars of people someone is following you will see their latest tweets saving you the time of jumping back and forth trying to find useful people to follow.
Twitter just got really smart and powerful to be sure. And they will make money. Just like crack, it’s always free at first. I think they could add a line with advertising and most wouldn’t notice a week after it started.
