Twitter is probably one of the most popular Social Networking Service of toda, their popularity have skyrocketed these past few months and while you might be having a great time using this service, sites like Six Revision can still think of new features that can enhance your Twitter Web Experience, features that Twitter userd won’t even say no to.
Below is a list of features that many Twitter users would love to see on Twitter.
1. Enable Grouping
The ability to create groups (or categories) of Twitter users that you follow can reduce the noise in your Twitter feed and can help you immediately see updates from particular groups of users.
2. Auto Complete
Auto complete can speed up the process of sending a tweet directed to a particular user using the @username format. It will also help in times where you’re having trouble spelling someone’s username.
Another application of the auto complete feature is for suggesting #hashtags (keywords associated with a tweet) to make keyword-tagging of tweets easier.
3. Text Hyperlinks in Tweets
With a 140 character limit, it’s often difficult to have links in a tweet without robbing yourself out of precious characters. By allowing users to tweet hyperlinked text, not only will it give them a little bit more room for including additional characters, but will also make Twitter feeds look cleaner.
4. Threading
Coupled with the “reply to” feature in the current user interface, threaded tweets can give users the chance to participate in (or follow along with) conversations taking place in several Twitter feeds.
Threaded tweets can also serve as a means for people to find other Twitter users that are interested in similar subjects of conversation.
5. Allow Tweets Directed to a Group of People
With companies and communities joining in on the fun, the ability to tweet to a group of Twitter users offers a convenient way of specifically targeting a set of people.
6. Displaying Meta Data through Hover Tooltips
Tooltips allows users to view more information when they hover or click on a text or object of interest without having to leave the current web page. They enable information-gathering with fewer clicks and fewer pages to visit.
One way tooltips can be helpful is in seeing the bio information of a Twitter user when you hover over their username on your Twitter feed. If you see a username mentioned in an interesting Twitter update, simply hover over the name to see more information about the user that was mentioned.
7. Use the Sidebar to Display More Information
Twitter can utilize the right sidebar more effectively by showing relevant information and statistics.
8. Add a page that displays tweets mentioning your username
This feature gives the opportunity to find people who are interested in what you have to say, enough that they update their own Twitter feed with a tweet of yours, or to see what types of your tweets are popular amongst people who follow you.
9. Highlighting and Deemphasizing Certain Users in a Feed
The ability to mark favorite Twitter users, as well as deemphasize users that you don’t care much about (but still want to follow for some reason), can give users better visual queues on what to pay attention to first when perusing one’s Twitter feed.
10. Built-in URL Shortener
One way to allow users to enter more text – without having to go to another website just to shorten URL’s – is to have a built-in URL-shortening feature. This would not only save user’s some time, but also eliminates the need to rely on other websites to perform an action that should really be handled within the system.
So far the list of features above is getting many approval from Twitter users, we just have to wait until some (and hopefully all of them) becomes a reality.Twitter will definitely have many more users if these features are enabled and it will certainly enhance a Twitter users web experience.
