yeah but its stupid

lol i luh u warerface

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

yr welcome

i'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

i heart u2 lagoonies

i should walk around schools, find the most popular kids, and give them megaphones

find the least popular kids and make them wear muffling masks

THIS IS TYRANNY
BAN TWITTER

FOUR RTS GOOD

what is needed is a lone employee at twitter who looks at every tweet and then gives it a quality rating from 1-10

in a strange twist, twitter chooses ken jennings for the job and he only gives 10s to really boring things

HOT DOGS

sorry, but i don't find that fascinating unless someone famous said it

or if chuck grassley misspells it

"HOT DOGS"--Karl Marx

no but the tweets r only bigger when ur looking at someones profile so its all their tweets not comparing them to celebrities or w/e

you can't stop me from giving kids megaphones!

now will someone please direct me toward a cheap megaphone outlet

it's like giving the popular kids megaphones connected to a pair of headphones

scrolling through ppl's followers/following looking for new ppl to follow sucks so much more now

hahahaha oh god

you know if you buy 10,000 of those they're only $1.38 each! i could stock them by the register at my cool new knickknack store!

i got a free one at tech event last week it still in my bag i keep finding it

those things work surprisingly well

facebook doesn't even get profile photos right. look at the artifcats!

artifacts

not that they've ever been known for their design outside of, like, paper

or that redesign they never officially rolled out to everyone

"artifcat" is a very disappointing Google search

so is arf cats

barf cats is really good tho

don't search for fart hats

you're an idiot and i'm going to stop engaging you

not that they've ever been known for their design outside of, like, paper

imho facebooks design was one of the main things that made it successful, it was way ahead of its time, it started to get muddled as it tried to do everything in the world and serve ads etc, but it used to be pretty great from a ui/ux perspective

Yeah it ws!

I would not smash Facebook in any of its incarnations

Who was that dutch design outfit they bought? They were good i think..?

the twitter week in review thing is pretty cool

omg i just turned the new profile on and then said i didn't want it and there is STILL that huge ad saying try the new profile design on top of my TL, why?

they're going to force you to get it eventually, so you may as well just learn to like it now

such is the way of things now.

Also, I didn't even know about this story until today, but totally agree that Twitter is useless for "controlling the conversation"
