Introducing Twitter Lite

This seems like the sort of thing they should have had out years ago considering their business depends on growth.

Isn't this basically twitter original? Anyone else remember when it was just text messaging basically?

Why isn't this the default interface? It's so much more pleasant and faster than their main web UI.

IMO installing this alongside third party twitter apps will make a great combo for push notifications alone. My preferred app just refreshes all notifications hourly, which is obviously worse than the official app.

This is much better then the bloated main UI. But I'd wish an option for an even lighter HN like interface. It still doesn't look to good in a text browser like elinks. One or 2 lines per tweet max would be ideal. That and a rss/atom feed that can be fed into the matrix network and clients.

Originally it was a listing of 140c messages, ideal to quickly view the status of your friends to enhance social proprioception. Since then it unfortunately morphed into a bloated, marketing oriented and visual distraction party where it mostly serves the look at me and commercial agendas. Authenticity, tele-awareness, social proprioception and efficienty flew away with the original twitter bird. Did he have a name? Is he coming back one day?
