I'm thrilled for Loren, I really am. Tweetie 2 for the iPhone is one of my favorite pieces of software ever. But the awkwardness of this text gave me pause:
Careful analysis of the Twitter user experience in the iTunes AppStore revealed massive room for improvement. People are looking for an ...

Brent Simmons throws his Twitter client feature request out into the ether for some enterprising developer to grab onto.
My personal dream feature is something like fake follow — where the other person sees you as a follower but you don't actually see their posts in your timeline — but with ...

If you're the type of person who enjoys Twitter feeds and loves Better Elevation, you'll be excited to know that there's a Better Elevation Twitter feed. It's mostly used for pushing out headlines, RSS-style, but I'm considering injecting some personality. Of course, there's always my own personal Twitter feed to ...

Jason Kincaid at TechCrunch notes that Twitter is killing off the (hidden) auto-follow feature. This is just barely news, since getting it turned on required contacting Twitter support. This quote grabbed my attention:
This is probably a good move on Twitter’s part, as I’ve always found the practice to be pretty ...

From PCWorld, Eric Schmidt on Twitter:
Schmidt praised Twitter as another way to communicate online, but he also called the service "a poor man's e-mail" and wondered whether it will remain a standalone service or become a feature of e-mail systems.
Spoken like someone who has no idea what Twitter is or ...

Rands says:
Every couple of weeks, a meme stressing about “an increase in Twitter spam” wanders the Internet. Each time I see this meme appear, I turn away from my keyboard and bang my head against my desk three times.

As with most things, I blame Alex King. His post about re-tweeting wasn't the first such condemnation of the practice, but it did inspire similar feelings in those close to him, culminating in today's launch of Retweeters Anonymous by Gordon Brander.
From Alex's rant:

According to Wikipedia, tomorrow marks 19 years of MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This. Curious, I asked the man himself:
@MCHammer: Tomorrow will be 19 years. Can we touch this yet?
Amazingly, he responded:
@dwiskus Not Yet !!!
There you have it. Please continue to refrain from touching this until further notice.

Alex King, on Twitter's downtime:
I don’t want Twitter to become a responsibility; I like having a casual relationship with it. I read tweets when I want to, and ignore things I’ve missed most of the time. I’ve already got people asking me if I get their replies or direct messages ...
