I'm not a huge fan of the current display format. It's too narrow to read easily, for one. I think I'd prefer it be more integrated like a blog, though the short length of the entries might look a bit weird in that format as well. Not sure whether the twitter links (reply/retweet/etc) are of any use, but they don't hurt anything. > > I personally dislike facebook (no offense Andrei), because I hate the whole > idea of having thousands of "friends".

I have a handful of "friends", all of which are actual friends and family, and my profile is empty but for family photos I want to share with these people. I do think that organization websites that one can "like" is something better suited to twitter, but whatever. It's an optional feature like everything else.
