Experiment Results – and a little suggestion

My experiment was… how shall I say… a resounding flop. Nothing. Nada. Zero response from the bots. Great way to embarrass myself in front of the readers but hey, knowing me it won’t be the last!

I do have a couple things to say more specifically in regards to Twitter. I’m sure anyone using this platform understands how addictive and also how useful it can be. Yet there is a level of frustration of how much SPAM you get on this medium. Also one other frustrating thing is knowing that any time you spend away from your Twitter hub you miss out on plenty of great and valuable resources which would have possibly solved a current problem or issue.

So I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Introduce a user rating – rated by their peers, this rating gives you an idea of what people think of this persons Tweets. Would be simple to implement and would help improve the quality of followers you wish to follow.
2. Have a post rating. At the moment the inclination is to Retweet popular or useful posts. How about implementing a system Like Digg or Reddit where you can vote for your favourite Tweets. You can only see common “Tweeted” Tweets on your sidebar so every morning you get up… have a look at your sidebar and read all the interesting stuff.

What do you guys think?
