I’ve noticed that no matter how much I want to create long and insightful posts that most of what I want to say can be summed up in a few sentences. With the use of Twitter I can create a quick “tweet” of what I am thinking at that moment. Now there are a few things I wish twitter could do. The first is categorizing or tagging tweets. Lets say I want to display all of my tweets about winter, a simple call to the Twitter API asking for tags related to “winter” would be awesome. Maybe implement tagging similar how you reply to someone ($winter:Winter is Cold). This could even possibly allow for multiple tags ($winter,$michigan,$snow:This winter in michigan there has been some snow). Another cool feature would be polling. So I could ask my followers a question like this: “poll(superbowl:yes,no):Will the patriots win the superbowl?” Users would then reply “@jaylaw81:poll(superbowl: yes)”. Now these are advanced type features that would extend the current Twitter system, not something for the casual user.

Simplicity is wonderful

When you have the ability to do alot usually it ends up with you doing nothing. So in the spirit of simplicity I’ve reduced the design to what a blog is, about the posts. The only special thing you get extra are my twitter tweets on the sidebar, which I update more often than anything else.
