#2After I saw the headline I was all prepared to come here and say, "No what they need to do is make what they have stable and scalable." It turns out that's mostly what this little article says, too, despite the misleading linkbait-ish headline. Sigh.

#3I completely agree, I think Twitter should focus on monetizing and improving the web experience (because it kinda sucks right now and if more people use it -> easier to monetize).

#4I disagree. Sure, Twitter needs to improve stability and speed. But I think the location and annotations are exciting and it makes sense for them to learn what works and adds value to the core experience.

No, they have value. The value is in the simplicity. They would be adding "noise" if they keep this up.
Twitter just needs to leave their sh.. alone.
I think...personally... if they want to improve the experience, they should do it through optional add-ons using their own API.

The linkbaitish headline is how the article makes its point. Between seeing the link, clicking on it, and viewing the article, I guessed what the feature was going to be, and guessed wrong. Without that mechanism, the article wouldn't have affected me in the way it did.

#7I might as well ask here: am I too stupid to use twitter? Whenever I visit it, I see somebody responding to somebody else ("@otherguy yeah I totally agree") - but I can't see the original post, which annoys me. Is this normal or am I too stupid to use twitter?

haha, I used to wonder exactly the same thing. I asked my friend who actually uses Twitter, and he basically said, "You're doing it wrong." He said that Twitter is all about the stream, and using it for historical conversations like that is awkward and difficult. Which makes me question the point, but there you go.

I use the Seesmic web and Android client, mainly because they do a great job of showing conversations (click 'in reply to' in the meta message).

Can't speak for the 8 zillion client apps out there, but in the web UI, if you click on the "in reply to @soandso" text below one of those responses, it'll bring you to the original tweet.
The better clients will expand to show the whole back & forth of the conversation, if it exists.
