What do you think of twitter's new look?

Postby Pandorica » January 24th, 2012, 6:31 pm

I personally don't really like it. It complicates matters, before it was so much easier to load your @ mentions and see who'd mentioned you. Now you have to click into a new page and wait for it to load.

Be upfront and say: don't really care much about appearance, you know. XD It's only outward, inwardly, it still has the same functions and everything yes?

Yeah, it mostly has the same functions, I can't see any new additions. But why change it if nothing is wrong?

Because people like tweaking and everything? And they're supposing that people like changes and updates, while you and I don't? XD

Yeah. Us silly people thing "change is bad".
While they think "change is for the better".

I suppose I'll get used to it, but there was no warning unlike last time there was a "testing" period, and you could revert to the old system if you didn't like the new one. Eventually though everyone was converted to the new system whether they liked it or not.

If there is a difference I haven't noticed it. It seemed the same as the new look testing period to me.
I am not very observant, and I was already used to the tabs.
I agree the time it takes to load sometimes is frustrating, specially when the retrieving fail and you only see a error message. :/

thats right. XD I mean, I hate it when twitter's overloaded too. Then you gotta wait for an eternity to be able to logon your twitter.

Twitter does overload a lot it seems. The new look isn't so bad. Change happens all the time on big places. For example. Youtube, Facebook and Twitter all recently changed layouts. I just don't like that twitter is loaded down with people trying to make money using adsfly for the shortened urls. Aside from that I kinda like the new look. It isn't as bland looking now.
