this is a pretty robust list with some good recommendations- but do you really think iterating on the existing feature set is sufficient? isn't that the focus that got them into this situation?

like, if they implemented every single one of your suggestions -- you think that would "turn Twitter around"? i'm not sure i believe it.

A fair point, and you might be right. But I'm an engineer & product person, so the more CEO-type change of vision moves are harder for me to evaluate.

What I really want is a global, public messaging protocol with Twitter-like pub-sub and integration points for secure third party apps including rich-media support and federated/individual controls for trust. And a flying pony.
