Comments on: A Peek at Twitter’s New User Interface http://www.socializedpr.com/a-peek-at-twitters-new-user-interface/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:59:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Ben simo http://www.socializedpr.com/a-peek-at-twitters-new-user-interface/#comment-2272 Ben simo Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:50:15 +0000 http://www.socializedpr.com/?p=561#comment-2272 I think it is a horrible design. The addition of last tweet and location is nice but the other changes make it worse: 1) I can't see who is following me when viewing other's following and follower lists without clicking a drop down menu button. 2) Profile information is no longer available. This used to be displayed on mouseover. 3) I can't see who is following me on my following list without clicking a drop down menu button. 4) It now takes an extra click to block people. 5) Blocked people remain in the list -- including those with pornographic images. Bottom line is that functionality I use regularly was either removed or made more cumbersome. How is this an improvement? I am amazed at how a slicker looking interface that is harder to use impresses so many. I don't see an improvement. Ben @QualityFrog I think it is a horrible design.

The addition of last tweet and location is nice but the other changes make it worse:

1) I can’t see who is following me when viewing other’s following and follower lists without clicking a drop down menu button.
2) Profile information is no longer available. This used to be displayed on mouseover.
3) I can’t see who is following me on my following list without clicking a drop down menu button.
4) It now takes an extra click to block people.
5) Blocked people remain in the list — including those with pornographic images.

Bottom line is that functionality I use regularly was either removed or made more cumbersome. How is this an improvement?
