My main problem with twitter and the stalled new user base.

1. The onboarding social experience is just hard. Finding relevant information of what I want is difficult I wish there was a pane of tweets regarding interests ie gaming, politics etc. Everything in one thread is mind numbing once you follow too many people.

2. Context - finding anything is difficult. I don't know what a trending hashtag is and the ones presented to me usually are gossip in nature for some reason?

3. Some people get so many @'s that they simply drop off the earth.

4. Whats the point of favoriting a tweet? I still don't get it.

5. Why is it so difficult to use the API since those changes in what 2012?

6. 140 characters is just so dang hard for me. I can understand a limit but just 140? I want just a little more space :(
