If you think the tweet isn’t the one you actually drive, then simply click on “X” icon in the tweet to remove it.

Response

Though users are excited, but Tweeter has gone beyond expectations and has been creating tools like Storify, allowing users to compile content from everywhere on any site. So will it stand the stiff competition in the area of organizing tweets. Besides it has taken a smart step to increase its visibility by embedding it across the web to attract new users.

The product is till obviously very early on its development, but should be interesting to see where it goes from here.

All for now.
