Improvements to be made

Though Twitter provides a great service, there is always room for improvement. The two major improvements that I feel could be made are allowing to group your followers so you can tweet to specific groups of people. The second improvement would be an expanded profile so users can search for others with like interests.

By enabling users to group their followers, they could have the opportunity to tweet specifically to the groups created. Allowing this gives the user more control over their account and Twitter can act almost as a list-serv, quickly getting a short burst of information out to a specific group of people. It also helps to not clutter up other people's pages with unnecessary tweets from people that are not applicable to them.

Expanded profiles would also be a beneficial feature, especially if users had the ability to search other users based on specific profile criteria. By doing so, they can follow new people that they would have otherwise not come across- which as we all know is a perk of the internet, meeting new people. New ideas can be shared between individuals who have like interests, promoting conversation and friendship through the facilitation of the microblogging technology.

These ideas are of course not the end of the improvements that Twitter could make, but I do believe that these two ideas would help to significantly improve the user experience.
