It's not that new - I've been using this ever since twitter said they would close down the old interface and force the new one upon me. It's fast, nearly complete, and convenient.

It also doesn't have the incredibly annoying "endless page" scroll.

Much to be preferred.

Certainly the "new" part of the title is full of irony, emphasizing the desire of people to get something else than the bloated, crawling, min_width=1024px, url-raping atrocity that is the new_twitter.

Wow, this is great.

This would be good pinned to the status bar (OS X) with Fluid (http://fluidapp.com).

Sometimes I feel like the only one who likes new twitter.

Sounds like one of those "Get 1 Million and facebook will revert back XYZ" Groups. Everyone has one. It's a good thing they are experimenting.

Yeah, but the twitter app is even better for me on OS X.

Hah, I've never actually looked at the Twitter app for OS X. I'll check it out.

I like it too. However, it is a little slow at times and I do get the "there was a problem sending this tweet" message a little too often.

It's particularly bad whenever you try to go through a long list of people you are following and try to unfollow lots of them. Takes an age to respond to clicking the unfollow button.

I either use Twitter on OS X or Tweetbot on the iPhone - I can't remember the last time I saw the twitter.com site at all...
