For twitter users: What do you think of the proposed retweet design?

I feel like such a loser for my very sporadic use of Twitter.

<waits for more intelligent responses>

I think it’s great! Twitter is in desperate need for some more features. Next let’s hope for a threaded view option.

I’m not a major twitter user. There are about 45 celebs/shows I follow, and I visit it once every few days. As of now I’ve got 8 tweets under my belt.

I’m not really opposed to the suggested changes, but I’m not a fan either. I don’t really feel a need to see who retweeted every little thing that one of my favorites have said.

Looks like a good way of tracking RTs. Hopefully it picks up on idiosyncracies in the various clients too (like apps that use [via @username] at the end instead of RT@username at the start)...

Who seriously uses the Twitter website though? A client is a lot smarter in terms of usability and access, not to mention the realtime nature of the site. I’m sure there will be API hooks for this feature though so it will materialise in clients shortly thereafter.

i dont really agree with @TheCreative . what i love most about twitter s how basic and straightforward it is. i dont want it turning into facebook or myspace, overcrowded with features that most people dont even use. i hope they keep it how it is.

@JONESGH Well not that much features but a couple like filters? Usually people follow hundreds of people. This means the more you follow, the more tweets you miss and I wish there was a feature like in Facebook where you could put people in groups. (Ex: People I know, Technology…etc) Little things like that.

Twitter also needs a threaded view.

Update: Twitter has announced that it will be adding groups (or lists) like in Facebook. Just thought you’d be interested.
