Tweet Portal: Biggest and Best Twitter Links all in one place
There are so many places on the net where you can now see the biggest and best links via Twitter. Today we came across a new site that has high hopes, TweetPortal. TweetPortal does exactly what is says in the tin and show the most popular tweets via channels (business, sport, etc).
TweetPortal is great for quickly seeing what is happening in each area via Twitter, but it still has a lot of work to do to be more efficient than the likes of Tweetmeme.
So what does TweetPortal need to improve? Well here are my thoughts:
- Design – the overall site design isnt great, plus it is actually quite hard to get a good overall look at what is happening in the world via the home page. More tweets need to shown on the home page in a different format, cause the basic boxes dont really work.
- Advertising – Im really not a huge fan of dirty Google adsense ads that ad nothing at all to the design and at the same time seem to cheapen the site quality.
- Channels – there is a great list of channels, however when checking out the channels it still only breaks down into a very limited number of smaller channels.
TweetPortal really has a huge amount to do to become a Tweetmeme competitor let alone a key destination for news via Twitter. It will be interesting to see if they take our advice on board and really try to improve the quality and options within their service.

Did you notice the login page talks about customizing the home page? What is that about?
The site looks addictive… if they would only add more channels and more of the popular tweets.
