And I think that the tweeter, which was conceived as mikroblog, and should remain so. And the appearance of all possible options, only complicates the conditions for the use of this service.

The examples you cite are simply awful..not as bad as Twitter’s implementation, but that’s a backhanded compliment if I’ve ever given one.

What Twitter needs to do is abandon its attempt at redefining what an RT is. If I were Twitter I would keep this functionality but give it some other name and explanation as I would indeed find it useful, but not while they’re trying to muddy things up by calling it an RT.

Tweetie is excellent, easily the best iPhone Twitter client, but I’m still annoyed that the Mac version hasn’t been updated to enable to the new retweets yet. I love the implementation on the iPhone, but I spend a lot more time on my Mac…

Twitter is a great tool and I suspect their sr. mgmt. is keep busy trying to read their crystal ball on how to monetize this monster w/out losing users in the process. From the dozen or so Twitter tools I’ve bought and used, they all have to deal with the Twitter API menacing routine. Twit Automator is on the fritz and I suspect won’t be back online until after the ball drops in Times Square and I for one, don’t like it a bit!

You know, I think you are actually right… that does look a lot better through Twittelator & Co.. Twitter seems to be “behind the times” on a lot of things that they implement, and the fact that the website still gets overloaded is almost laughable.
