improvements to Twitter
Twitter is like Facebook … with most of the best features removed. You either hate twitter, or love the minimalist, often cryptic, comments. Like Haikus. 🙂
But hate it or not, twitter is here to stay.
Happily, they’ve just announced some major improvements soon to be rolled out.
