The most interesting thing about Twitter is the ability to easily get an idea of hot topics and conversations going on within social media from so many different perspectives. When Twitter went live in Japan this week, it got me thinking more about how sharing perspectives across continents and cultural boundaries.
When you look at the Twitter Public Timeline, it’s obvious that there are more and more global users sharing their ideas with the Twitterverse. However, when everyone is sharing in their own language, it makes it harder to cross language barriers between social media enthusiasts. It would be so cool to have the ability to set your language in Twitter and have it translate Tweets from your International friends in real time, helping to further enable conversations across the web.
Hopefully with Twitter’s very open nature combined with growing global internet usage, we’ll see something to help us make Twitter friends all around the world sooner rather than later.

Funny Dave I just saw this post on twitter. I think translating between languages on twitter would be a fantastic idea. You should send that in they would probably do it.
