Make some of my tweets private (protected)
I think it could be useful if I could make some tweets private (protected) while leaving the rest of my twitter account public. Kind of like on Flickr - you might want to show everybody most of your photos but every now and then you want to share photos only with friends and family.

Inappropriate?this would be a wonderful feature as I currently have someone keeping tabs on me that I would rather didn't...I'm going to watch what I twitter in the meantime but really hope this can come to fruition soon.
I’m worried.

Fwiw, the work-around I've resorted to in the meantime is to have two accounts -- one public and one private. The drawback -- my phone can only be linked to one of the accounts. -
Inappropriate?I think privacy is a great idea. In fact, I think businesses that don't respect privacy, and abuse it, should be run out of business.
So here's a new fact: Twitter doesn't understand privacy matters, so don't hold your breath. If you terminate your account, they maintain your user ID, photo, and URL link, among other things - and keep them active.
It doesn't matter if you contact support, their privacy department, or this Customer Satisfaction site where Twitter represents they have 19 employees here working to serve you. They lied about that one too.
I’m ticked off

Uh, that text is default for any get satisfaction company. Also, Facebook is even worse, you cannot delete your account at all. They just put you in "sleep" mode, and collect MUCH more data than Twitter. Go after facebook first.
