Even after the recent hullabaloo about Twitter, it is still missing out on a significant number of potential users. Blame it on the core purpose of Twitter, which is to tell everyone what you are doing. Twitter was created as an easy-to-understand micro-blogging site but it seems like this is causing more confusion than intended. Most people who land on the site do not see the point of Twitter. They simply do not see the point of telling people what they are doing. And the homepage is definitely not helping with vague explanations of What?, Why? and How?

According to creators of Twitter, there’re more to just letting people know when you are walking the dog (which the current homepage failed to suggest). And they are trying their best to convey it now. Starting with the introduction of Twitter 101 guide, Twitter is really making an effort to tell the world its potential.

Next week, we would be able to see what the homepage can do to help people understand Twitter, fast. Some improvements according to allthingsD include letting potential users try out Twitter before signing up, showcasing the useful functions of Twitter such as Twitter Search and trending topics and providing specific information on how users can really use Twitter.

Never understood Twitter? Hang around cause the new homepage might help.
