1. a dedicated blackberry program to post tweets (there are some out there, but nothing that great)
2. A better/official widget for your igoogle homepage.
3. Every user gets a dedicated email address to send updates/tweets

I’m really interested in seeing a second set of tweets in addition to the timeline of the people you’re following.

Each tweet you post would bring up a number of tweets that share key words - perhaps with the option to refresh a la summize. This begins to overcome the greatest weakness of twitter - conversations. It also makes the task of finding and maintaining your personal social network much easier.

It becomes easier for like-minded folks to find each other. And when someone does start following you, it’s pretty easy to figure out why.

But why stop there. If you highlight a tweet from one of the people you’re following, the same thing would happen in your second timeline.

p.s. I’m interested in alpha testing your client (Mac OS 10.4.11 here)

Some of these features would be really awesome:) I suggest you to send this list to Twitter team, maybe they will make some updates;)

Grouping users is so Web 1.0! If the did it, they should implement it via tagging!

That is especially useful if you have followers who belong in more than one group.

Thanks for your comment Andy. They need to allow more activity through their API as well. Currently it is “70 requests per 60 sixty minute time period”. That’s fine until your application gets popular and then you get 400ed exceeding usage limit.

More stats the better. It feeds the stats junky in all of us.

Great list: I especially like the ‘allowing editing of tweets’ one. We all would benefit.

As a developer, I’d love to see Twitter use oAuth (or similar) for their API. I plan to implement some form of follower tracking as per Maki’s suggestion but currently a third party application needs the user’s password to get the relevant data.

I like some of your other suggestions too, particularly showing extra info on your followers.
