SAN FRANCISCO – Twitter, the mini-blogging site, plans to dump its list of suggested users to follow, said Twitter co-founder Bill Stone, according to reports.

Stone said the company will seek a more systematic way to suggest prominent members to follow.

The Twitter hand-picked list of suggested users has drawn criticism for the seemingly system-less method of selecting those to list.

“That list will be going away,” Stone said at a conference for entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

Stone said also Twitter plans to add new features such as easier ways to forward messages and will be translated into more languages.
