Twitter C/D

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

is there anyway to see more than 5 of other peoples tweet replies?

now that echofon is a huge hunk of shit i literally can't find a small, unobtrusive twitter client for windows. ?? where should i be looking? (NB i don't use lists....... yet)

is there tweetbot for windows

no it is ios only, maybe try twitters one

ok i'm giving something called "destroy twitter" a try

rip twitter, was prob time tbh

was gonna say DestroyTwitter. MetroTwit is not ugly, but has no single-column mode

nm, can't install Air on this machine

;_;

try twitters own client its p good

not that ive used it on windows but you know

don't think they have a windows one, do they?

some website i looked at said they did, there was a lil checkmark next to windows

i think tweetdeck is the 'official' windows client, but it runs on air

this one is not built on air apparently http://www.metrotwit.com/

yeah but it takes up the whole fuckin screen, i want something that will slide away when unwanted and discreetly pop its head above the parapet when it is

not to mention that i seriously doubt this machine is going to let me install .NET Framework 4.0 on it, wtf windows seriously, W T F
