The Good News About New Twitter

In my previous post, you read about what I don't like about the new Twitter functionality. Now I will show you what I do like about it. I shied away from the original version of Twitter at first because I couldn't easily have a back and forth conversation. I had to hunt for the Tweet someone replied to in order to remember the context of what we had been talking about.

The Usability of Twitter's New Interface

What if you could send a message to the entire world and nobody could stop it? Wouldn't that be the Historic equivalent in importance to Morse code, the telegraph or telephone? I didn't foresee what an amazing tool Twitter would turn out to be. Don't let the 140 character limit fool you, it's mighty powerful. Using Twitter puts you one-degree of separation from anyone in the world, if they also use Twitter.

Recently I had some time to get accustomed to the redesigned look, feel, and functionality. There are good things and bad things about the upgrade. In this post I'll show you around the new Interface. I'll also tell you about problems I encountered in the redesigned Twitter.
