Twitter tests Facebook-like feature for easy tweeting between users
Twitter is experimenting with a new feature -- that sort of works like a Facebook wall -- aimed at simplifying communication between people following each other on the social network.
The feature lets people reply quickly and easily to other users through a text field that appears on the other user's Twitter page.
"It's a feature we're testing with a small percentage of users that makes it easier for users to engage with each other on Twitter," a Twitter spokeswoman said about the new feature.
Writing directly on another Twitter user's page is similar to writing on a Facebook contact's wall, where users can share comments, photos, videos and links.
