Twitter C/D

i thought the blue lines were gonna be bad but they turned out to be fine, this on the other hand is just too much too much i say

i still refuse to accept the blue lines, they make too much of a sequential muddle of conversations that are playing out with multi-tweet replies.

The way the blue lines mess with chronology is the thing that bugs me about them. The lines themselves don't bother me.

entire site looks like it's been run thru blingy

ok like 5 hours later i have made peace with the new updates

story of basically any update ever

The pictures thing is stupidly annoying. Seriously glad it wasn't in force a couple of days ago when every fucker in my timeline was retweeting that Davie Moyes picture though.

Every fucker in my timeline is posting 'Diana's Ghost Tells Kate She's Too Skinny'. Over and over again.

are you all using the actual website

I use it on my laptop. So?

didn't know it was so common; just assumed most ppl used dedicated clients

i used to use a thingy that popped up like a chatbox on firefox then i stopped using firefox and nothing else seemed as good as the web version

don't want a separate program running and slowing everything down

The Twitter extension for Chrome is pretty good. That and Instapaper are the only extensions I ever use.

dedicated clients are bullshit fyi

??? I never look at twitter at anything other than tweetbot. I don't see how anyone could use twitter without mute filters.

tbf ilx has trained me up pretty good in just ignoring people

My iPhone and laptop have zero iTunes activated, and I don't really do apps. It took me an age to set up email on my phone because I live in absolute horror of getting a grand in roaming charges if I happen to travel somewhere. Though I will grant that in 2013, this fear is possibly not rational.

i've been using this for the web version. nice enough

No kidding. Going clientless seems inconceivable.

are you all using the actual website

Yeah I've tried a couple of clients but they didn't seem that great to me. I like to keep it simple.

I use Tweetdeck at work but that's mainly so I can have my work twitter open in Tweetdeck and my personal twitter open in the browser and don't have to log in and out. I don't really get the advantages of clients.

Sync read/unread tweets across devices, keyword/client/user mute options, better view of conversations, supports different services like readability etc.

Much of this is more relevant if you try and read most tweets instead of skimming.

Most of that doesn't seem very useful to me. Better view of conversations seems like the main attraction for me.

Mute is fantastic. Like if Ned Ragget just won't shut up about MBV on a particular day, then I'll just mute him for a day or a week.

Muting hashtags so I don't ever have to see anyone's #RHWOBH tweets.

Muting any tweet from a 4sq checkin.

in the 300 steps of redesign thread bump we must be at 180-200, 'i use special things'

If someone is dumb, I unfollow them. If they're just being boring or temporarily dumb, I ignore them. Muting hashtags might be nice but I'd be worried I'd forget to unmute and miss something I'm interested in.

But what client do you recommend, Jeff? Maybe I'll try one out.

you know you can have multiple twitter accounts in tweetdeck ie both work and personal

I use tweetbot but still getting used to the latest redesign. Almost there.

Can't wait for the redesign to make it over to the OSX version.

mavericks doesn't have the new ios look & feel though, so it might not make heaps of sense

The current version feels so iOS'y though.

ah now when you hover over a truncated link it shows you the whole link everything is so busy why

Thank god you can turn off image preview in the settings

oh? kudos

wait really

It only works in the app, not on the web. :(

whoa, huge! sorry

well at least i dont have to seem them in app thx

why is image preview so heinous? i'm not seeing why so many people are frantic about this.

i just don't like the risk of having goatse or pigpoopballs pop up while i'm at work. every message board in history has had the option to not display images inline, i don't see what twitter gains from not allowing people to turn it off even if it's on by default.

minimalism is a major thing that was good about twitter, harder to scan the ol feed w all this clutter

It looks like they lightened the text a bit on the Favorite Retweet etc. links, which helps.

xp ah okay. i suppose i'm accustomed to feature-rich (and ad-free) feeds due to very good and very old third party clients. (on that, i didn't see nearly as much anger when promoted tweets started happening.)

I would not have noticed anything had changed vis a vis pictures if people weren't freaking out about it.

i feel like i saw not very much freaking out abt it outside of my own two tweets tbh, maybe people have discovered that freaking out over design changes to free sites is lame or something idk

It seems random; some pics preview automatically but I see some (even Twitter pics) that still just show up as links. Maybe has to do with how people post them?

promoted tweet are whatever, it's only one tweet and it only seems to show up every once in a while

I literally only follow major brands and corporations so I don't even notice promoted tweets at all.
