Twitter Lists, Project ReTweet and advertising

Sorry to break the “bald avatar” mold but I aint shaving my head :P

So good points Jim, I have been reflecting on these moves myself and the significance of driving more people onto the twitter home site instead of utilising the service via Tweetdeck or Seesmic and it makes sense for them to want more people hitting the home page.

I think it will be a long time yet before these apps are rendered useless however, they just offer much better usability in my book which the website hasn’t nailed yet.

As for the ad stuff, as we have discussed before, I hope to god they ditch that idea or at the very least offer a subscription service which removes all adverts from your stream. If it was 12 bucks a year, I would pay it without hesitation and many more would as well I think, and 12 x 44 million accounts is a nice healthy sum in anyones book.
