Users and pick and choose exactly the features/experience they want from Twitter. Om himself hit on this a little while back, with the idea of the social atom that Twitter has found. I don’t know how it will play out for the company in the long run, but not cluttering up the service with all sorts of features that for the most part any given user won’t need or want is Twitter’s best move so far.

I think it marked the end for Happy Days and was a sign of desperation to get more veiwers for a flagging TV series. Am I right?

Was there something productive that came out of it?

If you had looked at twitscoop during the event, maybe you’d have got a far less noisy picture than just following the # on search.twitter ?

Kind regards

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. It is a platform to network with people you would like to meet in real life. Check me out!!

It’s pointless, silly, and downright dumb. For more details on how stupid Twitter is, click on over to the TWO BIG BOOBS Blog @
