It took me about five minutes to figure out what was the point of this website. I'm on a 13in Macbook Pro and didn't realize you could scroll down to see the buttons. Does it bother anyone else when people design websites for tall screens that most people on laptops just don't have?

What resolution? It seems fine on my 11 inch Air @ 1366x768.

No now you're justifying 'the fold' and it tyranny over webdesign :(

uiuiuiui https://twitter.com/about/logos someone at twitter must have had to much time at his (or her) hands.

The favicon on that page violates the brand guidelines.

As does the MacOS client available in the App Store. http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/twitter/id409789998?mt=12

1280x800... i didnt have safari maximized but it was a pretty big window already. Even after maximizing it the follow button was still below the fold, when clearly this entire website was designed to be viewed in one window.

Scrollbars - Crazy right?

On Mac OS X Lion, in Safari, scroll bars are hidden by default. They are only shown when you start to scroll, using either the arrow keys or the two-finger-drag gesture. So if the page looks complete and you don't try to scroll because of that, you have no indication that there is more to the page.

Edit: the scroll bar is also shown briefly when the page finishes loading.

Reasonable people would, in my humble opinion, consider that a failing of your insane OS, and not of the producer of the web page.

Press chirp. Press rotate three times. Press multiply many times. Press ledge. Result: many Twitter birds beak-planting into the ground and farting in surprise.

Press multiply ~30 times. Press disco.

Now spam rotate. :)

Disco party!
