Many of these new features have been talked about by Twitter before, but they rarely talked about any of them at the same time. Supposedly, the new location information is being rolled out soon too. It is very interesting to see these moves, and I am curious to see whether they can keep the pace of development.

Twitter has finally caught up and is now banging out new features at an alarming speed. I, for one, am happy with lists and am interested to see how the new retweet will be in comparison to our current retweet.

As for Twitter being translated into Spanish (or any other foreign language) or the site featuring the number of new incoming tweets, these features have been expected. Having Twitter in multiple languages makes it more accessible and will continue to expand the site’s already immense audience. As for featuring the number of incoming tweets, they’re cleaning up their site (just like when they implemented the new sizzling homepage) and trying to make it more gui friendly, which I applaud them for.

On the topic of Twitter creating an iPhone application, they probably should have hopped on this band wagon a long time ago and glad that they are finally doing it.

Overall, I’m excited to see what other new features and awesomeness they will be pulling out of their twitterful magician hat.

A majority of the original reasoning was Twitter’s focus on infrastructure and stability. This is fairly typical in a situation like Twitter and opening the API just adds to the application ecosystem. The third party clients were a big help in growing Twitter, but they have mostly expanded to include Facebook as well.
