Nice article. Simply put: I totally agree. The current website of Twitter isn’t very userfriendly. However, applications like Tweetdeck and Firefox addons like Echofon (my personal favorite) are way better at distributing information and keeping it all tidy. They make Twitter seem a lot more logical.

Spammers on Twitter are typically characterized by a few main things. First of all, you’ll notice almost immediately that they are following way more people than are following them back. For example, you will have someone who is following 2,000 people. However, in the meantime, there are only 10 people following them back. Another thing is that they will not have a profile picture or will have a profile picture that is obviously fake. Finally, you’ll notice that their tweets either don’t make sense, are purely marketing/advertising oriented, or they will have only a couple of tweets.

These are some of big blunders of twitter…

“Why can’t we unfollow accounts that are suspended” There are 2 persons in my followers list and now there is no such options to remove those guys.

I think these message must be conveyed to twitter developers.

Thanks for the resource.

Hi Kate,

My personal answer would be that Twitter has usability issues they really should have addressed long before now. Anything confusing is a negative that limits who uses any system. Apparently they don’t feel the need to fix anything since Twitter is so popular and growing so fast. Perhaps they should rethink that as there are many dormant or abandoned accounts and at least some of those are due to their usability issues.

Hello Elle,

How we each use Twitter varies over time as we find new ways to make it useful. It can be very useful for getting a quick answer, doing research using Twitter search, contacting busy people who would be challenging to get in touch with anywhere else, and learning about breaking news. It grows on you.

Yes, you are right I am a new user of Twitter and I find it quite confusing when I get a message and can’t reply to it. Why is this so? Sorry if I sound completely clueless. Thank you.

You make some very important points. Twitter is something I’ve yet to figure out completely. That’s not to say that I don’t know how to use it. I just don’t “get it” as in why people use it.

Hello Asif. I agree that Twitter can make a huge difference even though they do still have most of the usability issues mentioned in this post. Last month traffic from Twitter to this blog was up 160% and overall traffic was up 104% so it is effective once you get an established following there. I don't consider your offer of a Twitter app for someone's phone as off-topic because this post IS about Twitter, I am flexible on what my readers want to discuss, and believe some could be interested in what you're offering.
