I'm curious why they didn't roll out this layout to everyone: https://twitter.com/yankees It's much cleaner.
The new iPad app is atrocious. I thought I somehow accidentally got the phone version somehow because it appeared so jumbled. It's better in portrait, but I normally use landscape and there is an incredible amount of unused space. I still haven't figured out how to switch to my other Twitter accounts, I just see one. The web view is now full screen so I can't read tweets and have a link open at the same time (handy w…
I'm curious as to what Twitter's direction with these changes are The old style, which I prefer and find very functional, focuses on the content (the individual tweets) The new style, focuses on the profile of the author itself, and not their content. Very Facebook-esque direction to focus of the persona instead of the Tweet.
They're just giving their users what they want.
I think this is a big waste of space if you're already following someone, what they're talking about should be the primary focus. I wonder if they'll start with the view scrolled down a bit how cover photos on Facebook do.
The normal response to this would be "You get an app if you're more interested in the content", but then I realized that Twitter is going out of their way to kill off apps. Somewhat distressing.

The increased emphasis on photo sharing is interesting. Facebook bought Instagram a few months back. Just the other day Google announced the acquisition of Snapseed. Now Twitter is making changes to make photo sharing more relevant to the experience. It seems like photo sharing is strategically important to each of these companies. Anyone have any insights as to why?
Photo sharing is the top reason people use social networks. I don't think there's a close second.
But yes, sharing photos is surely one of the most important applications for such a platform. People like to keep in touch, and in the age of cameraphones and high speed Internet connections, a picture often is worth 1,000 words.

Hold on the "Me" icon to switch accounts. It took me a while to find that.

So much wasted/unused space.
I think the new design: https://twitter.com/twitter is pretty ugly and puts the author's bio and URL in an odd place. The banner image will interfere with that text and make it difficult to read.
