I liked the idea when Dave first explained it to me, but I wasn’t sure how much I’d use it. As it turns out, I now use it quite a bit - it’s sticky. Much like Twitter, it’s value is hard to explain but readily apparent once you use it for a while. [...] [...] Building this service has been an interesting experience on a number of fronts, but one of the most exciting has been discovering that it’s something I want to use myself.

Users might want to send different tweets to groups of family versus friends versus co-workers, etc. Right now, users would have to manage multiple Twitter accounts to achieve that. Groups would solve this problem and, if the groups were configurable, they might also help with the issue mentioned in this article around not wanting to follow all of your "friends" tweets. You could have "friends" in general, but put them into groups that would control what tweets make it to your phone and your email. I would love it if Twitter supported groups of some kind.

I was thinking of the same idea - updating Twitter would create the same post somewhere on a WordPress site. Doing so would allow non-Twitter users to respond to your status through the comment form.

That is what Twitterrific uses for its display. To have your tweets excluded, I had to "remove you as a friend" - everything else that I tried didn't work. I don't get (or want) any IM or SMS updates - so that part isn't in the equation for me.

But, really, don't matter. I wouldn't post so much if I didn't trust that people would remove me if they were annoyed by the volume. I'm just glad to see your tweats in there ;) Sorry ’bout that ;) As PatrickQG pointed out, you can have someone as a friend by not follow them. But, really, don’t matter.

Leave just stops you getting the updates - though I suspect that might only affect IM/SMS updates. Possibly something for the twitterific people to improve on?
