Jack Dorsey to Twitteratis: What do you want to improve in Twitter in 2017?

Co-founder and CEO Twitter, tried to end 2016 by asking users what they would like to improve in the micro-blogging platform in the new year.

Dorsey sought suggestions via tweet, using the hashtag #Twitter2017.

The tweet, which was put out late last night, gathered a lot of traction from users, garnering 983 retweets and 1,983 likes.

Many users put forth the suggestion for the ability to edit tweets.

Dorsey replied to one of the tweets that said it would be a ‘massive improvement’ to edit tweets by saying, “Yup me too. We’re thinking a lot about it.” 

@jack @cloleaf either would be a massive improvement. Can't count how many times I've had to cut/delete/paste/edit and re-post.

From curbing the abuse on Twitter to decreasing fake news and bookmarking certain tweets the other suggestions were as follows.

@jack add "bookmark" / "save". I see as public endorsement. Sometimes I do it as mental note / reminder. (1/2)

@jack Peson A tweets. Person B replies. Only B followers should see the reply. A follows C. C hearts or retweets B reply. Now A sees it.

@jack twitter was designed for status updates (obvi) but the most engagement I've been on twitter is when amazing conversations happen
