- recognize that a tweet was written in another language and automatically translate it in line -e.g. translate a tweet from German --> English
- allow to view items in a threaded view - see all tweets that are related to each other
- if in threaded view, allow the entire thread to be marked as read
- (not sure this was clear) any marked items can be removed from the view in the app manually
- ability to specific how many tweets / messages are stored in cache in the app
- ability to put all tweets in cache back into the view (read or unread)
- ability to mark all items as read
- ability to filter the list based on items that have a link or does not have a link
- ability to filter based on a word/name/hashtag
- provide the ability to define multiple columns that you can read - all friends, home, favorites, mentions, searches, Facebook, linked in, etc.
I missed some reqs - My personal social media apps requirements part 2
I guess I was too quick to post my last post. Based on twitter comments and my own continued thinking of ideas I have come up with about 9 more abilities I would like to see in a social media aggregrator / twitter application. Here are the additions - enjoy:
My personal social media apps requirements

Hear is my list :
- the ability to quickly and easily indicate if a tweet has been read or not - TweetDeck has this feature and it is easy to mark things as having been read already
- the ability to sync across devices (computer --> phone --> tablet) information such as account information, which columns I have setup and if I have read or not read a tweet
- ability to save items and have them sync'd to InstaPaper
- the ability to integrate other twitter like feeds that follow the twitter api, e.g. Socialcast, yammer, etc.
- ability to customize the theme colors
- ability to create custom plugins to extend the app (ala Seesmic)
- have direct messages(DM) not cached in the client - ever notice that when a DM is deleted it sometimes sticks around in some apps - #fail
- ability to caches tweets or not to cache tweets - make it configurable - indicate how many tweets to cache (ala TweetDeck)
- after reading an item, the items should not stay in the cache
- ability to have some smart filtering of tweets ala my6sense - if integration with my6sense works, that is a bonus (don't fix what works)
- integration with more than just twitter - linked, Facebook, etc.
- have all tweets, recent posts (Facebook), activity stream, linked in, etc. land in one column in one area - provide an easy way to see that the post came from various sources, twitter, Facebook, etc. (ala TweetDeck in chrome/android)
- color coding for individual users - automatic differentiation across users - ability to apply similar colors to a group of people based user definition (e.g. all the people I know from work are in one color range)
- as close to real time updates as possible (think TweetDeck)
- integration with external services like url shortening, image and video services - have the aiblity to look at image, video in line to app
- tweetchat like functionality - follow a hashtag and then be able to respond and have the hashtag automatically added
