the most prominent element is yr header photo which has like nothing to do with anything
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:36 (ten years ago) link
it really really really sucks

im not mad just disappointed like it doesnt make any sense
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:40 (ten years ago) link
likes column is p tite, but why no retweets column
Apt from a few maybe bots literally noone seems to like it, weird move
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:41 (ten years ago) link
Also abt two ppl I follow have even bothered to change their header pic to something that works
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:42 (ten years ago) link
the header is 2/5ths of my screen! at least here at work.

i'm not mad either it just looks dumb

yeah its a really odd design decision to use prime above the fold screen space to display this image that has no relation to the core functionality of the app
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 13:49 (ten years ago) link
its really hard to follow threads

Maybe there's some level of internet monetisation that I just don't see but being this blatant abt aping Facebook and going against what ws working for them seems weird of Twitter

i'm sure they'll take your opinion into account during their next design review

no they won't! you're cuckoo!

the thing is twitters stuff isnt working that good recently, their adoption rate has slowed a lot, like instagram is about to pass it in users
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:30 (ten years ago) link
Did they roll out that change where if you're on a persons profile the font size of the tweet changes accordig to how many retweets and favs they had
That fucking sucked
― 龜, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:37 (ten years ago) link
whaaa? so if you go to Drake's page or whatever all the font would be 140px?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link
then you go to your grandma's profile and everything is in 2pt font
poor grandma can't even read her own profile at that point
Oh I didn't know that bt did just sign up to Instagram today, whoa

my grandmas were born in 1883 and 1901, a fact for which I envy them.

This is what I'm talking about although when I first started seeing it there were like 4 different font sizes & I would always have to open a favorite user's profile in incognito mode to get rid of it
Looks like they rolled it out to everyone now though

the hilarious thing about that "how to get to the new profile" article on Techcrunch is that I've had a gigantic banner ad on my browser for at least the past week that said "CLICK HERE TO TRY THE NEW PROFILE"
― Wahaca Flocka Flame (DJP), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:11 (ten years ago) link
man that big text thing for clicks is stupid
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link
its a totally standard way to highlight something like do u think headlines in a newspaper shd all be the same size, if it was directly proportional to likes or whatever it wld be dumb but its just a way to give a few popular tweets more visual prominence, u cld argue its against the twitter cascade ethos but it def makes more sense than the lol big banner image
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah but its stupid
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:33 (ten years ago) link
i can see how pop it is vis a vis RT's and favstars
waterbabies (waterface)Posted: April 23, 2014 at 3:33:00 PMyeah but its stupid
lol i luh u warerface
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:36 (ten years ago) link
My position is that both the big banner image and the cascaded tweet font size both suck
Thank you very much for your time ladies and gentlemen

xpostsi'd be all for it if more retweets/favorites meant that something was actually better. but most of the time the popularity of a tweet has nothing to do with the quality of it. some celebrity can say "hot dogs" and it'll get a billion retweets, and on a smaller scale, someone with 5,000 followers can post the exact same link and garner way more interest than someone with 50 followers. the system is already tilted to reward people who are already well known, and making popular people's posts larger just tips the scale in that direction even more. it would be like if big corporations somehow had to pay less in taxes than smaller businesses and people...oh wait
