I second lists. I can view lists easily with TweetDeck, but organizing lists is a chore. How about themed lists & channels based on category? Make a channel called Fashion or a channel called Movies and it would more or less operate like a subreddit with moderators. I think it would be more engaging.
There's too much self managing and noise right now with Twitter. I pretty much have to have a separate account in order to efficiently dive into the different networks.
Let me give two use cases.
Say there's a basketball player and he tweets another basketball player and as a user it's fun to retweet/share/follow these conversations.
Then let's say I'm also into indie games and this one indie developer tweets a sneak peek to a new release, and some game blogger talks about it. As a user, again, it's fun to retweet/share/follow this.
I can't easily do this. Content is slapped together in a shitty form of lists and I continue to miss important things and I get jealous of other people's serendipitous luck in enjoying these conversations I would love to be a part of.
If Twitter can figure this out, they would do well.
It's crazy how hard it can be to follow conversations on twitter, and seems like a huge loss.
To do better, I think twitter should look at how Sina Weibo does it. Weibo started out as a complete rip-off, but wound up coming up with some very useful ideas before zombie accounts and government censorship ran it all into the ground.
