Twitter should make mobile based links identifiable (while surfing twitter on the phone). The current experience involves clicking on links, which eventually need to be seen on a big screen. There isn’t a good way to save these links for further viewing either.
It should look something like this.
See the little [M] next to the link? Something like that, some sort of identifier should help.
The other thing I’d like to see, is a way to save links for later viewing. Some sort of a tab from the homepage, where links would get saved (maybe with a checkbox near individual tweet). And while we’re at it, it’ll be nice to have a mouseover on tinyurls to show up the actual link behind. I’m guessing an small ajax request should work.
btw, did I say Twitter is awesome?
Random thoughts, written long back. If they aren’t comprehensible, I blame lack of sleep.
I just had a weird thought. What if really we all are just carriers, our whole purpose in this life is to try and evolve. Just find the best use of all the resources around us and try to progress. And while we individually try and do that at our level, the gene inside of us is constantly upgrading itself to newer evolved characters, better lifestyle and a whole lot more of aquired power.
The whole theory of evolution suddenly makes sense. The catch was that evolution isn’t for humans to propogate, we all die anyway. It’s for the gene inside us to accomplish so much more than what it could individually have, without our support or help. And we end up doing it for almost no benefit to us.
And now, imagine this gene is an alien creature fighting some war in a far off galaxy, which has come here to improve itself, and the best way to do it is to use humans as carriers. And maybe for it, a few million years is not a big deal.
I’ve been told to read: The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins for ideas related to the thought above.
Lots of fun stuff here:

The closing ceremony was such a fail !
I’m halfway through, and I just have to say this. Frank Miller is GOD !
Our Dark Knight returns from retirement. He’s old and rusty, pissed and confronted. And the book is as Dark as before. Two face, and Joker return, along with new enemies.. the mutants.
You can read more about this on the wiki page here. Highly recommended.
Today, I went ahead and unsubscribed to more than half of my Feeds on Google Reader.
Prioritization on unscubscribtion had to do with these:
- No full feed (big big reason)
- No regular updates (my feed might get unsubscribed to for this reason)
- Too many updates (low quality ones mostly)
- Boring feeds (that I subscribed, because of one or two good posts)
I’m hoping my friends would share anything they find interesting. It’s better than subscribing to everything !
You might have seen this happen. It’s usually just around midnight, and the ‘keepers of the law’ have just ended their shift, and want to go home in peace.
They soon realize, their means of transportation are the same people who, just few hours ago, were stopped, questioned, and maybe even got bribed by.
I see them stranded on the roads, asking for a lift. They’re mere people now, and them asking for a favor from the people they were trying to teach the law to, makes me feel slightly bad.
The govt. should provide vehicles for officials who work at late/early hours.
The book has generated lots of buzz. Read the first chapter, and to be frank it’s not that engrossing. I’ll let you know if it lives up to the expectations.
this weekend, to meet friends !
(hmm, could have fit that in twitter)
