Twitter C/D

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.

film crit hulk is exercised about it http://badassdigest.com/2013/10/31/film-crit-hulk-smash-a-short-note-on-why-the-twitter-display-changes-are-re/

why does anyone use web twitter

i suppose it's only a matter of time before twitter tightens up the requirements for 3rd parties using its but until then just use a decent app and you get to bypass nearly everything annoying about the twitter user experience except the ppl. i use tweetdeck on chrome and tweetbot on ios and i never see ads or promoted tweets or blue conversation lines or image previews (unless I want to) or anything dumb like that.

also i'm spending a lot more time on twitter than ilx icymi so idk follow me over there if you crave my company

It probably check twitter every 15-30 min through out the day.

i tweet up a storm, check me out folks http://twitter.com/on3ness

rtc what is your twitter handle I feel like I'm missing some brilliantly excoriating tweets.

not putting a direct link to my account, but here's an indirect link:

if you were following me in 2011 or whatever, you might not be now, so double check if you care and if you don't god bless you.

You are not rtc.

What does that even mean

oh hi rev, no i only follow for infos never converse. rest assured there is nothing behind the ilx candelabra

twitter keeps sending alerts to my phone that big name microcelebs, some of them ilxors, have followed me but then i go to check and it turns out that they haven't. or this has happened twice. what's the deal?

got retweeted by St3ph3n King's son, copped some painfully dumb @replies.
