Instanced Twitter Chats
How come no one has made these yet? I have had a number of good discussions lately on a variety of topics and as we all know, Twitters 140 character max can be a bit limiting when discussions require big words or more than one sentence.
Sure, we can send out a number of tweets, but that could be considered spam and while it is the spamee’s responsibility to unfollow whom they believe to be spamming, that still doesn’t give a better option to have a thought out discussion with big words and complete sentences.
So who is going to do this? I came up with a few “no brainers” for starts.
- Use OAuth, duh.
- Chat creator & second person* joining the chat have “admin” rights, in which both** are required to remove a person from chat.
- Ability to record chat and Save As.. as simple text file.
- Ability to tweet / retweet acceptable messages, IE: Those under 140 characters.
- Same functionality as TweetDeck; Shortening of links, for starters; all the way to translating?
- Google Wave functionality?
- Chats get cleared, purged and emptied 24 hours after
