Taking private notes at TwitterNotes
Since it has been a feature asked by several users. We are looking for a way to take private notes with TwitterNotes. The idea is enabling you to take notes still with any Twitter client, but not through your personal timeline.
We came with a possible solution, but we would like to hear your feedback first, before implementing it.
The method would be a direct message to the user 'NTS'. That user would have a bot to get all direct messages to him, the messages would be parsed for tags also and would never appear in your public timeline our trigger anyones notifications. The message would be something like this:
d nts Taking a *private* note #TwitterNotes
So what do you think? Share with us your opinions, concerns and other ideas for taking private notes with Twitter. Thanks in advance.

Inappropriate?Private notes are a *must* and I think this is a great solution. Everyone using Twitter should already be familiar with the direct message feature, so you don't have to learn something new. I don't love "nts" and think "notes" or "twitternotes" would be better.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?We weren't choosing big names because Twitter message space is limited and also we didn't want you to have to type too much. 'Notes' was already taken so what about 'TNotes'/'tnotes'?
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?You're are now being followed by TNotes. You can now publish private notes, by sending direct messages to it. Sorry for the trouble.
