While you were sleeping last night, twitter quietly decided to unveil it’s latest feature, Twitter Suggestions. Twitter suggestions which can be found in the Find People sections suggests users whom you might want to follow. The algorithm it uses hasn’t been disclosed yet. Personally, I recommend Mr Tweet [ @MrTweet]. It takes time but at least it’s worth the wait for the suggestions are decent enough. I say this because when I started using twitter suggestions, the suggestions it gave me weren’t to my liking (unlike Mr Tweet, which I found quite useful). And guess what, I wasn’t the only one.
Within minutes, there were Re-tweets all over twitter about this feature. Check screenshot below:
Twitter has always been known to be application resistant, despite hundreds of twitter apps coming out each day from developers. So one would assume that when twitter finally comes out with newer features, they would be something spectacular or at the least make user experience much better. Personally, at first glance I am not very impressed by this. @Biz, are you listening?
all those who are worried that twitter is not making money , here it is! Suggestions i bet is a revenue source for twitter and 100% sure they are sponsered. any simple attempt to use this feature should make it clear, it suggests only celebrities and organizations. What i wonder is this list changes whenever the page is refreshed.
Whatever its #FAIL
