I would hate to lose Twitter as a communication tool. Though I suppose when/if that happens, something bigger and better will have already replaced it.

Allowing a VIP list for each person would solve the problem for me. Love this solution to the Invisible Twitter Samantha. Allowing a VIP list for each person would solve the problem for me.

That would reduce the scale greatly but allow the small number of people that really want to see them all to be able to do so.<br><br>This works assuming you have a small circle, say 100-200, people that you really want to listen to everything they say. I think that is what we are working with though. Twitter should just allow us to name our VIP list. A list that we want to see all @ replies from.

Do not ever depend on them as a main communication channel. They have never proven you can trust the service. <br><br>But I will say they do need to focus on scaling the existing service, not dropping features in order to focus on implementing new monetization efforts. Make sure you can "scale out of a cardboard box" before you worry about making money. Customers are first. Look, Twitter has had scale issues for years.

Still, I would like to see Twitter catch up with their scaling at some point. They can only remove so many features before the service loses its soul. @Andy Twitter has had some major scale issues and that is the root of the issue.

I really only use Twitter to listen, but I have noticed less @ replies the last couple of months. Not sure how I feel about it. Less noise is good I suppose, but you are right, there may be a lot of great content missed. At a minimum keeping it as optional seems the right thing to do. Although we all know Twitter could not scale itself out of a cardboard box. Was barely aware of this when it happened.

I'm having trouble with staying up to date with people I follow. Sucks. When is this going to be fixed? I'm having trouble with staying up to date with people I follow. Sucks.
