Limited Privacy:
◦ privacy for individual tweets cannot be set.
Handler problem:
Handles also consumes character space. Long
handles can leave you with less space
(E.G @microsoftwindowssupporteam)
In the above example the handle takes 27 characters
out of 140 character space allowed for tweets)
6.
No notification system even for group tweets
Cannot upload videos directly to Twitter
Still needs localization in a lot of regions.
