What do you think about Retweet?

November 4, 2009

Did Retweet fail to get the sense of Twit­ter by not pro­vid­ing any com­men­tary that users might like to add? Is that true?
It took me a while to under­stand what Retweet was, though not so long, after using it 3 times I I got the idea and find it much more cre­ative than the Tweet but­ton itself.

Besides, you can see com­ments by other peo­ple who retweet and see who is shar­ing your ideas, knowl­edge and inter­ests.
Actu­ally, the prob­lem of Twit­ter itself and the rea­son why it launched the List appli­ca­tion, which is really rough to be hon­est, is to enable peo­ple to inter­act in a more organ­ised way.
Oth­er­wise it is going to be a sort of list of micro-news which you can get as though you were gam­bling to get them.

My per­sonal opin­ion and ques­tion is: why does Twit­ter not evolve its search engine by devel­op­ing an advanced search?
In that case I would see Twit­ter as the leader in micro-blogging news.

What would you like to find in an advanced search for Twitter?
