And don’t understand why Robert Scoble wants twitter to be like another facebook.

The limitations a very usefull for start, this is the essence of twitter.

It’s because messages are short that people can get or send quick updates from anywhere using any kind of mobile.

It is because messages are short that people have to go to straight to the point to make them meaningfull.

It’s also for this reason we can follow so many people easily and get such a variety of information.

Same for the lists. There are only so many list anyone can follow or look at. Apart from Scoble who’s going to read 500 hundred lists ?

Again having a limit forces you to make choices so you have to choose only the best, which again gives values to your followers.

Simplicity and openess allowed twitter to become a vibrant ecosystem. Sure there’s a lot of junk but if you know how to find your way, twitter is a gold mine of informations.

And why doesn’t Scoble build all these features himself using twitter API and other apps? This is another great thing about twitter, its open ecosystem that allow developpers to customise their twitter experience.

Sure there are many things that can be improved on twitter, but I think the team behind twitter is doing a great job. it looks like they don’t do much but most often less is more. Everything they did so far was very clever in my opinion.
