Twitter Doesn’t Get Design
To quote myself:
The right play is for Twitter to save the dollars its wasting on the presentation layer and just shut it down. Instead, it should just provide its firehose data flow (ideally also driven by distributed tweet inputs) for processors and front end developers.
Latest examples in the upcoming ReTweet functionality (even though third party developers have already added this functionality):
- It takes two clicks to ReTweet something. It should be like the Facebook ‘like’ button.
- API doesn’t result a count of ReTweets for any given tweet.
Rest assured though, because it does however, put out a <profile_sidebar_border_color> element.
