I don't understand exactly how twitter works, and really, I'm only there because you are. I would think the best solution would be to give people the OPTION (read: FREEDOM) to make this choice for themselves. If someone would prefer to have only their own followers read their messages, it should be up to them. People who like having it open to the public at large should have this option as well. Putting people in cages, creating rules that stifle them is a huge reason why other websites have failed. Terms of service should never mean giving up personal freedoms. Taking away features that no one was complaining about is not a good idea either. I hope if enough of you complain that they will rethink this change. Good luck Eric, you know I want you to have whatever you feel you need! Jeanie I’m sorry that this change has effected you so greatly.
