Agreed. Hive has nothing to compare to Twitter. In fact, Hive doesnt want a twitter like application where people are posting every few seconds.

There is already a Twitter-like application on Hive named D.Buzz. It is still in its early stages, but it is already very usable.
I am not sure what you mean about "Hive doesn't want a Twitter-like application".
I think if people post every second that would be considered as a spam. I am going to be pessimistic by saying that there's potential abuse if people can post each second. But anyway, that surely can be tackled with downvotes.
In case you are not aware, #HIVE has a 5 minute delay built into the blockchain that stops users from posting anymore than once every 5 minutes.
On https://d.buzz, as with any HIVE front-end, people are free to comment much faster than that, and should be able to.
After all, it's engagement that we want, and people usually don't wait 5 minutes between responses when having natural conversations.
P.S. D.Buzz was moving up in rank on @therealwolf's HiveDapps site, and even hit the TOP 10 a few times recently. Sometime in the last few days though, it stopped logging our users and transactions.. not sure if it is related to what @taskmaster4450le is saying or not.
Which of the following do you mean with your phrase?
If you are referring to the first one, then I would say that nobody in Twitter posts every second.
If you are referring to the second one, then I would say that people have the right to use their Resource Credits whenever they wish for as long as they don't harm or annoy people (though I acknowledge that people could use their downvote power as they wish too).
Your balance is below 0.3 HIVE. Your account is running low and should be replenished. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://hive.blog/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-s-faq
We hit the Top 10 on @therealwolf's https://HiveDapps.com website, before it stopped logging our daily active users and transactions for some reason, so there are HIVE users who DO want a Micro-blogging DAPP.
Keep in mind,our site isn't done yet and we are currently working on a major upgrade that will vastly improve it.
In addition to serving the HIVE community, we also have a marketing budget that we will use toward onboarding users OUTSIDE of the Hive community, so there will be new users that also want a Micro-blogging DAPP like ours.
Not sure why you are saying what Hive wants and what it doesn't when the blockchain is neutral and the consensus is dynamic so what HIVE "wanted" yesterday, it might not want today, etc. And so on.
I guess the question is, is HIVE just a blockchain for blogging websites like WordPress and Blogger, or is it a much broader blockchain for social Dapps of all kinds, ranging from @threespeak's version of YouTube, to Reddit, Quota, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and even e-commerce sites with social functions built in such as Amazon and Travola.
What do you think @theycallmedan?
I would like a Twitter-style dapp on Hive. If you have the RCs than it isn’t spamming, that is just how the chain works.
If someone wants to make a short-form content dapp on Hive and has the resources to do so it’s a moot point because no one could stop them. I actually bought into the Zappl ICO waaay back in 2017, never got my tokens ended up being scammed. But I saw the potential way back when.
Hive is a great place for storing text, that what it does. I think people think of rewards first and not scalability. If someone wanted a censorship-resistant version of Twitter, regardless of a PoB reward pool when existing, Hive would be by far the best blockchain to build such a dapp due to its scalability.
Glad to see a big stakeholder like you see the value of a Twitter competitor 😃
