#2I know exactly what the writer means by that problem. The first page is really useful to search for new tweets on a topic, but once you login to use what you found, you can't revisit the original home page without logging out.

Indeed I have. I began using it even before their major tipping point at SXSW and was there in Austin that year when it all happened. It was the U.S. digerati that all had the ah-ha moment together at once, due to the number of like-minded people within close proximity, in the wonderful outdoor spring of Austin, Tx. If not for this perfect storm, Twitter may not of ever hit the big time.
