My twitter profile is still without the search and trend features that have been rolled out but what I have noticed is the “older” link to go to a previous page of tweets from people has been replaced with a large “MORE” button.

Once clicked the page extends to show some more tweets and then you can click the more button again to show even more. A bit quicker then loading a new page.

Not a major update by all accounts but is it another way for twitter to keep the site fresh.

Now… wheres my search and trends!

Twitter adds trends and search to user pages

Twitter have started to roll out a search and tends feature to the top of peoples profile pages. This does seem to be taking time (I don’t have it yet) but then again Twitter is very popular now with many people having an account (sometimes more). This feature will allow easier searching as before this the search was located on another page with a link at the bottom of peoples profile pages. As soon as I get access to this feature I’ll update this post.

How twitter could improve – your thoughts

I want to throw this open to readers, If you could change one thing, or have one addition to twitter what would it be?

For me it would probably be html in posts. A lot of people nowerdays link through to interesting blogs or articles which nine times out of ten are a tinyurl link. If html could be used normal <a href> links could then be used, and depending on if Twitter made all links no follow or not, an even greater chance to use Twitter for SEO purposes. Other uses could be to highlight important parts of the 140 character message, for example making some text bold. certainly catches the eye.

But would the html have to count towards the 140 limit? Perhaps, this would make the posts shorter, but maybe more pleasing but it does run the risk of lots of people posting everything they say in bold or italics. Which would get very annoying very quickly.

So for my suggestion it turns out even I have issues with it. So I hope you all can come up with better ones!
