Dear Twitter, Please Change This

22 June 2009 | social media statistics,social-media | 0 Comment

Dear Twitter,

I’ve been on Twitter for an crazy long time and for personal reasons, I had to change my account to a private account. As you know, when someone requests to follow me, I have to manually approve them which is great because I can be sure of who is *not* following me and no one can see my tweets in a public timeline or on a third party application because I’m private.

The problem is that it is an insane time sucker for me because I average 40 new follower requests each day and although from the approval panel I can allow them to follow by clicking “accept” or “decline” as shown below…

…I still have to click on each user’s name in order to follow them back. Yes, I am aware that I can take the extra step to click on the people that follow me and follow them from there but would it be too much to ask to add a third button that it seems you have space for called “follow”??

Why care?

I care because not only do I spend numerous hours daily engaging in social networks, I help others to do the same and any streamlining that can be done, especially with the uber popular Twitter network, it *has* to be pointed out. So please, Twitter, I beg of you to add the third button for those of us who have to be private. If you do, I’ll be your best friend. There, I said it.
