Why Twitter Needs to Do More
Posted on September 26, 2008 at 10:50 AM EDT
In case you missed the news, Twitter announced a new election page that will help its users filter all the election tweets across its network so users can find what they're looking for as soon as possible. Twitter claims it decided to launch the service after seeing a spike in the number of tweets surrounding the election and the candidates. The page is different than your run-of-the-mill Twitter page and it does a fine job of finding what you want, when you want. But it highlights an important point that shouldn't be overlooked: Twitter needs more of these pages.
