Day 23 of #productidea — Twitter profile with best tweets

This is part of my #productidea 30 day challenge on which each day I write about a new product idea.

I’m sure this has happened to you a lot. You are reading tweets and you discover an interesting one that someone has retweeted. You go to that user profile to check if that person shares many interesting tweets. You read his last tweets and many of them aren’t interesting for you. However, there are many great articles shared below, one of them was the RT you saw.

If you were deciding on following that user, you probably have rejected that idea based on his last tweets. But you may have taken a wrong decision because you didn’t read more tweets. Or otherwise, the last tweets were great but he usually shares crappy stuff.

I believe Twitter should use its best tweets algorithm to revamp user profiles. Instead of showing the last tweets by default, it should show his best tweets (more liked, retweeted, replied or clicked). It can help to get a better impression of users and Twitter on general. Another great feature would be to follow only the best tweets of a user instead of all his tweets. In fact, it’s a feature that Facebook implemented many years ago.

An interesting user metric that they could also show, but they won’t because it’s too niche; it’s the user interactiveness with other users. Is he a one direction channel or does he answer to the replies he received?
