This past Thursday, Twitter rolled out a new small feature that garnered quite a bit of positive buzz. Essentially, they now allow you to see what other users see when they look at Twitter. In other words, if you click on the "Following" area in my profile, you can see the main tweet stream that I see with all the (public) tweets from people I follow. Very cool. But it's actually not new at all. In fact, Twitter had this feature in place two years ago. We mentioned this in passing in the post, but then I was directed to the blog post�explaining�why they removed it in June of 2009. It's pretty interesting. From the post on June 4, 2009�on their Twitter Status blog:
