I acquired yet some insight. Life is so colorful, we should be able to live in, such as Korea and honor the planet. Human life is like rivers, slowly flowing, flowing rivers, flowing through the snow, flows through the prairie and ultimately into the sea, return to the embrace of nature, start a new reincarnation. Allow us to feel the meaning of life will come only to those you have those memories <a href="http://www.cheap-nikeshox.com/nike-shox-TL3.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheap-nikeshox.com/nike-shox-TL3.html</a> Thanks a landlord it!

But on reflection, I asked myself if that's actually twitter-like. Think about it: what makes twitter twitter is how bare-bones it is: a textarea and a submit button. And an open API for OTHERS to play with.. rather than imposing on the users, twitter is very basic, and thereby encourages its modification by others. There are plenty of services out there leveraging the power of twitter, but once you start wrapping things like recommendations into the core service offering, you're going to limit the initiative of others to do so (and likely just garnering a bunch of negative press about how it could have been implemented differently). Recommendations based on content is a fantastic idea.. and there are probably dozens of ways to implement it. So why does twitter have to do it? Twitter has established itself as *the* service for micro-blogging. I'd argue that the support for groups by pownce is an improvement, but twitter has the critical mass that's really needed to make the service useful. Are recommendations as provided by twitter itself really going to contribute to its overall objectives?
