Apparently, in the early days of Twitter, nobody thought about @replies - and certainly nobody thought about #tags either. I think it's time for another one. I'm quite partial to %.
What could it do? It could be a much better URL shortener, first off. No http's, no whoever the current favorite .ly is, just % and the magic number. Saves a few characters, right? But it could be even more.
What if the % was linked to the poster? What if it signified that link was approved by the tweeter, coming from that tweeter's own site? What if we had an application that would filter just the tweets with % in? Wouldn't this be a better way to share links with Twitter?
Wouldn't this be what Twitter needs to really replace RSS?
