This day I live, not
for me, but for you.
To end it all, would mean to you
nothing at all. Woe is me, I live.

Instanced Twitter Chats

Life

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
