Wow! I'm going to keep using twitter its just that I will be super tight about who can send me SMS. I don't think its bad or anything, just I thought it was fine the way the had it before.

The friend and follower distinction was perfectly clear to me. I wonder how many more of twitter's fundamental features will change now they are under real pressure by their VC backers to monetize their users? This reminds me of when Digg went mainstream with their categories in order to attract more traffic. I have no doubt this was purely a comercial decision driven by their investors. It was never the same after that. I went back to slashdot. A percentage of customers (website users) will always resist any change no matter if it is for the better.

Going mobile and "twittering" is one of the greatest benefits of Twitter but Jaiku also does this. I think just sending messages and being able to allow only certain friends and followers to send updates to your mobile phone should be a standard feature. As mobile phones become more internet compliant, I can foresee that we will see more sites and apps that will cater to this market. Twitter can become the front bearer of a successful mobile internet social networking and micro blogging site. The iPhone is the start of using the internet on a mobile device in a simpler and easy way. As you grow more popular, hopefully there will be more sites and apps that will be able to cater to your growing demand to separate your public life with your private life.
