I started using twitter to keep up to date with my friends, but as time passed it turned out to be different. I made new friends from similar interests group (something similar as micro-communities), I used it as broadcasting medium, sharing views and sometimes for updating scores(Cricket/F1/Soccer).
I was an avid blogger, but many a times I had just opinion and I wanted more views on it and could not blog about it, but with twitter’s 140 char limit, I found that perfect platform. I could ‘track’ stuff from my interest group and can find out what other people think, I could do this previously also in a very inefficient way. I would be visiting blogs, searching and then commenting, with twitter I just have to ‘track interest’, read a lot of comments and then reply back to what I like.
it has been a really great help, my blogging curve has taken the dip but still my viewpoint is shared amongst the same friends group, so I don’t mind it.
One thing I miss in twitter is ‘tag’ system. Many a times I would like to update my status but for a set of followers. Example when I talk about web 2.0, I don’t want my family members to be updated about it. So if I could tag my tweet, and then my followers can choose which tag they want to follow, it would be perfect.
Thank You for such a wonderful app!
