Many many times I've posted some tweet just to realize, one second later, that I made a typo. I've always thought about the need of a Twitter undo function, or at least edit, to avoid these embarrasing moments.
How could this work? A few seconds to have the chance to modify what you just tweeted perhaps?
I always check many times before tweeting anything but even so there are mistakes.
What do you think? Do we need Twitter undo?

I'm not actually too
I'm not actually too convinced, I kinda like it the way it works right now. Sure, there can be some issues with misspellings and grammar digressions (which can be a PITA if you are a language nazi as I think you are like myself, as well), but, like real-life conversations, I think we are trained to ignore a certain amount of mistakes and can reconstruct quite well main ideas and messages.
Besides, adding an extra layer (even one as simple as having a 5-second-edit window ) would affect the Twitter minimalist way. Perhaps it should be something to be corrected as a client-side feature (confirmations, some sort of Outbox or something like that) that you can opt-in by choosing the client.
Then we need a Wordpress comments undo function too!
