As you can add your twitter username to your profile, I think the zone should have a mini twitter client as one of its features. However, you can only post tweets and look at the last 20 tweets. You cannot find people, edit your profile, reply or re-tweet or send direct messages.

hmm, i haven't seen too many users with twitter usernames in their profiles yet. but perhaps if enough people support this idea, it may get implemented. though i've a feeling this would be a premium only thing!

In a way it could be, but the thing is, all twitter clients are free so getting a premium membership means you would partly be paying for the twitter client.

hmm, i see ur point. as i said in my last post, if enough people agree, it may get implemented.

I honestly don't see the point of such a feature. If people want to use Twitter, they'll use Twitter, as simple as that, really.
Besides, the zone already has a blogging system.

A Twitter client would be redundant, and frankly more cumbersome and not so useful.

Isn't the blogging feature just for premium members?

premium members can post entries, but anyone (including non-members) can read entries. personally, i think that part of the site could do with some improvements such as allowing blog commenting, putting security levels on posts etc.
