that twittfit they launched is the first thing closet to a group I've seen, but it seems to be a whole separate site that synchs to twiiter...

i, too, would like to see a grouping feature for outgoing tweets.

and i agree with Sean (way up at the top) re: "You must assume that your tweets will never be deleted." (but as per the post, the feature for bulk-deletes for account maintenance would be nice).

I am still wondering how is that going to end with twitter, especially as more people will use client such as tweetdeck or people browsr. Twitter has to evolve to that point if they want to survive.

I would like to see a TWITTER app. educate consumers about simple conservation techniques and alternative energy options where the most is used; homes, transportation and industry.
I believe the path to energy independence is largely an issue of educating users about these options so we can reduce consumption while creating the demand for alternative energy resources which new industries can satisfy.
Can TWITTER lead at this its whats Matters most NOW

Feature creep is a terrible thing, especially in the absence of the business model.

I'd like to see Tweeter add the ability to organize whom we follow into custom groups, so we could filter streams of collective consciousness by friends, relatives, work, play, you name it.

The ability to group is essential to any communications, on- or off-line.

It just seems to be a lot of celebs and so called internet celebs. And Mr. Tweet seems to be more effective with their suggestion service.

So I have to agree with this Twitter Fail declaration - http://twitpic.com/135wl

Sounds like a good start. I'm surprised there have not been more additions lately. So many apps coming out, why don't they acquire one or two of the big ones, or work on their own version. Does anyone know of what they will come out with next?

MrTweet has provided me with a few interesting people to follow but the majority of my interesting acquaintances have either been people whom I followed back or people recommended by existing tweeple in the Twitterhood, as I call the group of tweeters that includes me.

Periodically I will ask, in an open tweet (i.e. addressed to nobody in particular and everybody in general) for three suggestions of people whose tweets I might enjoy reading and I always find great people that way.

It would be nice if Twitter would resolve the suspended accounts problem at last. Currently there is a long-standing glitch which means that, on two out of three occasions, you keep returning to the 'mosey along now' page when trying to block a suspended acount, instead of being told you have now blocked whoever it is.

MrTweet provides better more relevant choices. Only thing cool so far with this suggestion tool is when registering a new account it gave me Pete as the #1 choice to follow!

Now that's good suggestion!

I do not want to follow Shaq, nor MC Hammer I am sorry!

I think a cool feature (not sure if it should be next) would be an email alert system built into Twitter for a specific topic or person (a la Google Alerts).
I currently use Google Reader for this, but it would be nice to have it native in Twitter.

I just checked out my suggestions. None were any good or related. Their algorithm needs some work.

@mrtweet does the job for me... tells me who I should be following, who else they follow, and which of my followers I should pay attention to. Very robust.

That said, I would def. like to be able to find a way to tag or group users into categories of my choosing.

it's clearly a monetization device, as all suggested people are public figures who's publicist has paid to have them features here

Just gave it a try, doesn't seem to be terribly useful!?!?

Twitter will come out with a friend suggestion tool based on who else was or IS having lunch where you are. Am I right? @journik

You must assume that your tweets will never be deleted. There are too many sites pulling from or receiving a firehose from Twitter. Once it's tweeted, you can never take it back.

A feature we really need is Drunk Tweet Protection. To take a page from Google labs, users should have to solve a moderate level math or logic problems after 11PM in their local timezone before they are alowed to post their tweet!

Next should be adding the functionality of Power Twitter, no question. Allows search right from the main page, allows scroll over views of recent conversations from individuals. Very unintrusive and useful. Since downloading it (its a firefox add-on) I've been using the web interface alot more.

Groups for Twitter. Not an original suggestion, but it would help.

I just use @MrTweet for suggestions. I've found it a great service and they are active in making it better.
