Kill dysfunctional blue check mark for all at the same time, then replace with new objective, NOT subjective, verified, one color for individuals other color for orgs.
Currently, too many people are verified that are similar to others who are not. It looks as if some are “first class users” and lost the intent of identify clarify.
Individuals who want to be verified should tweet themselves, not someone else tweeting for them.
Do everything to attract developers back. There is a lot to reverse so it will take time and investment. Developers add fresh ideas for the future.
Make sure there is a level playing field for everyone. That is truly what makes Twitter unique. @jason is right even if @jimmyfallon won’t always get his wish.
Find accounts that bought followers to pad their numbers, remove them and kill all public follower numbers except for seeing your own. It’s a false signal that promotes quantity over quality.
Remove restrictions on how many accounts you can follow. Makes no sense someone with 100k followers can follow 100k accounts but a user with less than 5k can’t go above 5k. Limit follows to 100 or 500 per day if worried about bots. 🤖
Remove confusion between Twitter Video 🎥, Twitter Live 📹 and Periscope📱

Let users pick 5 (or 10?) pinned tweets, including tweets from others so it makes the profile pages more interesting and creative. Btw, half my pinned tweets would be from @naval in case anyone is wondering.
Simplify self-service ad platform.
Add edit tweet option with full edit history so genuine typos can be korrected.
Create a Twitter story feature? Tweets inside a story that last 24 hours and can vanish. Mixed feelings on this but why not? Give users what they want.
Snap and IG are leveraging the desire to be visually creative so provide visual tools (RIP Vine).
Expand character limit for usernames but also eliminate usernames for counting against tweet length.
Kill squatter and inactive accounts. No tweets for a year and you must start over. It will purge lots of junk, dead weight and open up real estate new development.
Create donate button for every user to reward great content. Take X% cut (ka-ching)
Trust users.
