Twitter C/D

but like i had just got used to 'activity': what the hell is this distinction between 'interactions' and 'mentions' going to add to my bleedin' user experience

and they haven't even got rid of infinite scroll, which was the thing that sucked most about the last design.

so yeah, i too am experiencing for the first time this 'internet user outrage' feeling - i actually almost held off on tweeting about the upgrade because i normally get really pissed off by people whining about a free internet service changing something cosmetic rather than terms-of-service-breaking.

(then my desire to be possibly the first person in my twitter circle to talk about some new piece of news won out)

interactions = mentions + follows + retweets + favourites

btw I quite like it, but I don't need the discover tab, the trends and plugs are completely useless to me

Twitter stores full iPhone contact list for 18 months, after scan

re this new design, how do i see all the tweets in one timeline from the people i follow? or has this gone now.

What do you mean? That's the default view

oh yeah, it was all the way down the screen. didn't see it.

i just thought i would bump this thread to say, i think twitter is pretty good! probably if i have posted itt before it is just to say that i am confused by it or something. i started playing with it maybe six months ago & it is neatly integrated into my life, now. i know this has probably been registered, probably after it was invented, but it seems like so much a more efficient, less multivalently-messy, communicative tool than any of the other comparable platforms. like in being disproportionately-content heavy, w/fewer sprawling personal dimensions. the democratic thing about how the internet usefully minimises human barriers like 'status', or even charisma, or whatever, in favour of a meritocracy of information & content, is really prominent w/it. there just seem to be lots of interesting dimensions to it. there was a thing rare basement said about how it was a platform which was (badly remembering & paraphrasing, here) proving women are funny, ie in comparison to various other media & their awkward limitations or segregations on participation.

it's good, i rescind or at least tamper any trash talking i contributed upthread

Has anyone else noticed it being really glitchy over the past couple of days?

In what way?

Just taking ages to load older tweets, sometimes not loading at all... don't know if it's something on my end, but no other sites are acting up.

Weird, it's all fine for me

this might have something to do with it (for geeks only), but the "single tweet display page" alone loads 2MB of data:

new twitter is a completely over engineered mess

when i click a link to a tweet, why am i shown my own profile for a moment and then redirected to the tweet display? bad engineering, thats why

yes i have noticed that too, like why try so hard to be an app, just be happy to be website, be cool

They're rebuilding it to take all that shit out now.

ha really wtf people

ITV is developing Trending Topics where Jonathan Ross hosts and the show is guided by what is popular on Twitter. For the first run through of the show David Walliams was a team captain, and guests included Jon Richardson and Andi Osho.

The show is part of ITV’s deal with Ross, signed in November, to make three series of The Jonathan Ross Show and investigate other programme ideas fronted by Ross.

why do ppl still try and do tv shows about the Internet? aside from tosh.0 they have never been successful. WE COME TO YOU FOR TV, WE HAVE THE INTERNET FOR WHEN WE WABT INTERNET
