Vicki started following the idea "@Replies should pull all tweets containg @myname, not just those that begin with @myname" in Twitter.

Vicki replied on February 18, 2009 21:24 to the problem "OK, I get it. He's "fit"." in TwitPic:

I'm only being slightly facetious. I really am awfully tired of seeing that every time I come to Twitpic.

Vicki reported a problem in TwitPic on February 18, 2009 21:23:

OK, I get it. He's "fit".

Could you Please take the pushups guy off the pages? That stare is making me nervous.

Vicki replied on January 13, 2009 06:57 to the idea "[Ideas] Additional Reply Settings" in Twitter:

I would love per-user setings. For a few people, want to see everything they say. For most, just replies to people I "know". And, as Chris points out, for some people I don;t ever want to see @replies!

Vicki replied on January 13, 2009 06:50 to the question "Twitters boring" in Twitter:

Jennifer - are you following anyone? Are you "talking"?

Start posting things to twitter. Follow some people. Look at their followers and follw a few more. If you're saying interesting things, people will follow you back.

Read some of the "how to get started in Twitter articles online. Find some at twitip.com.

Share links. Share funny stories. Share things you see and hear.

Reply to things people you follow have said (at twitter.com, click the curved arrow on the post; that's the Reply to link)

Twitter takes a little time to get used to. You need to get involved before it's fun.

Calculate/show average tweet length

A statistic you could calculate - average length of tweet. I prefer people who post longer tweets, say 100 char or more?

Twitter for Kids

I just finished reading http://www.twitip.com/think-like-a-to...
along with the various comments. Can we get a Twitter For Kids area? It should probably be on a separate server with careful tracking of who's who. I know there are ways to do this sort of thing, just not sure how. But I bet you can figure it out.

Let me delete replies to me

I would SO like to be able to delete @replies to me. Treat them like DMs and make a copy in my inbox so that I can remove them at my leisure.

Why? Because in the past month I've received 4 and they are NOT to ME. I don't know who they were meant for. I don't know if it's some funky kind of spam. But I'm getting tired of it and I want to make them go away.

I think he meant that _after_ they are suspended he wants to not follow anymore, not that he won't click "follow" for a suspended account. (As you say, the latter cannot be done.)

Vicki replied on December 30, 2008 06:01 to the idea "Twitter asks: What are you doing? Let's change that" in Twitter:

What has your attention?

Vicki replied on December 29, 2008 03:52 to the idea "Twitter asks: What are you doing? Let's change that" in Twitter:

From http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/marci...
Why not augment the question, "What Are You Doing?" with "What Are You Learning?" or even "What Can Others Learn From?"

Vicki replied on December 28, 2008 18:54 to the question "Do you make yourself clear?" in Twitter:

It would be nice. I don't think it's possible. Short messages can be too short. Longer messages may be too long. Your reader may be tired or distracted or just not interested. Not everyone is good at writing. Not everyone is good at reading!

Twitter asks: What are you doing? Let's change that

The box on each person's Twitter home page still asks "What are you doing?" But, as many people have pointed out, that's not really the right question. People who have used Twitter for a while understand that. But new users can be confused.

I have a (better?) idea. Come up with a set of revolving questions: What are you doing? What have you learned recently? What are you thinking? What's happening around you? What have you heard lately? What do you wish you were doing? Where are you going?...

Every time the page loads, the question should change to a random selection. Get creative with questions. Ask users to suggest questions.

This could be a fun and creative way to involve new Twitter users!

A comment on the idea "I don't follow suspended accounts" in Mr. Tweet:

If they "somehow get through? If they stop being suspended, then they aren't suspended. Otherwise, they're deleted. They aren't going to "somehow get through" and "Catch you napping". There's nothing to catch. After all, anyone, anywhere, can read your twitter page at any time. – Vicki, on December 28, 2008 06:16

mingyeow, Good answer :)

Vicki replied on December 28, 2008 06:05 to the idea "Filter out people with more than x updates a day." in Mr. Tweet:

This is related to my request at http://getsatisfaction.com/mrtweet/to...

Vicki replied on December 28, 2008 06:03 to the idea "Filter out people with more than x updates a day." in Mr. Tweet:

My personal favorite is "too many that are replies to people with too few being general statements." I'd also llike to filter on length of tweet (I prefer linger. You get 140 characters. Use the,.)

Vicki replied on December 28, 2008 06:02 to the idea "suggestion" in Mr. Tweet:

Are you suggesting a personal profile? Or... what, exactly?
(I think I already know my own characteristics. :)

Vicki started following the idea "Update This List" in Mr. Tweet.
