Twitter changes to be 'more like Facebook' - Telegraph.co.uk

Easier-to-follow conversations may encourage users to stay longer on the site, getting involved with discussions they would not otherwise have seen in full. The company also announced a function that would make it possible to share Twitter conversations via email, even with friends who do not have a presence on a site. For Android operating systems the Twitter app will now be half its previous size, making it faster for users to download and install, the company added. And it said it would be introducing a 'report tweet' button for abusive messages, following a campaign by a number of women who were targeted on the site. Caroline Criado Perez, one of the women behind the campaign, praised the move but said that more needed to be done to deal with online harassment. "It's great that Twitter has listened," Ms Criado Perez said. "There are still issues: users have to agree for the report to be potentially shared with the harasser, and there are some boxes that could be auto-populated that aren't. But overall, this is a fantastic first step." via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNGeLSTGlRKqcR0GMtFSQVQXx4zXig&url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10273263/Twitter-changes-to-be-more-like-Facebook.html
