Impressed by how #NewTwitter renders iOS app links on the web interface. So detailed and interactive.

#newTwitter:
twitter.com/#search?q=%23newTwitter
New Twitter isn't a new site or anything like that, it is a new
interface for Twitter. I'm a little late getting access to it, but at
long last can report out. The link doesn't give you a view of it, but
does take you to the conversation on Twitter about the new interface.
New things I like:
1. Shows my most recent favorited tweet.
2. Shows who has listed me most recently (I quit checking after the
first 25 or so because it was too hard to see what was new)
3. Layout seem s little tighter, more efficient, more streamlined, and
it includes more information. For example, the tweet listings show
both the twitter handle and the name used on the account. Helpful.
4. Share bookmarklet looks intriguing, but I haven't tested it yet:
dev.twitter.com/pages/share_bookmarklet
5. Click on "Messages" (which used to be DMs) and the left column
shows you how often you talk to someone privately. BUT unfortunately,
it doesn't give you the option to sort by either number of
conversations or alphabetically.
6. When you mouseover a given tweet, a little arrow button appear to
the far right of it. Click on that, and that tweet shows up in the
right column, in a much larger font, and with a small selection of
recent tweets from the same author, so you can see the context of the
discussion. BUT sadly, you must have excellent vision for that arrow
to be visible, and great manual dexterity to actually click on it.
7. Mouseover a given tweet and it changes color from the adjoining
tweets, making it easier to see which one you are looking at. BUT, the
color choices REDUCE contrast for the selected tweet, making it
actually harder to read if you are sensitive to that.
Which leads us right to ...
New things I don't like:
1. The accessibility issues mentioned above.
2. Default font is kind of tiny, and folks are complaining about it.
Easy to fix with CTRL+plus sign, but not everyone knows that trick.
3. Wasted blank space on the right bar. As in HALF the screen wasted
for anything below the fold. (Below the fold is a newspaper phrase
that has been adopted in computer design lingo to mean anything for
which you have to hit page-down or scroll to see.)
4. For me, the List menu is NOT working. There seem to be whole piles
of odd unique errors people are reporting, including things like
having the cursor disappear. These are erratic, and vary from person
to person. After a half hour, the List menu decided to appear after
all. Hmmmm.
5. Another odd one I had was portions of the screen start flashing
erratically, which is very unpleasant. It is driving me buggy trying
to figure out what is going on when first one tweet flashes, then
another; and then one of the menus flashes, and then part of the right
column. I feel like something is trying to get my attention, but WHY?
Sometimes it is something I am mousing over, sometimes it is just
random as far as I can figure out.
6. The righthand column is partially transparent, so my background
image actually shows through very faintly, but enough to be
distracting.
7. When I click on the button to retweet a tweet (as well as other
places in the new interface), it pops up a window within the working
window & overlaying portions of the content. I can't figure out how to
test the accessibility of the new interface, but I find myself really
wondering how a tester would deal with this.
8. From the retweet window, when I ctrl-click on a link to open the
tweet in another tab or window, it doesn't work, and ends up forcing
it into the same window I was already working in. This means I can't
open several tabs form the same start page, and that I have to use the
back key and pray I can get back to the same screen I was working from
without anything else having changed. That is pretty unlikely in
Twitter, so I am kind of cranky about that one.
Which leads me to ...
New things I LOATHE:*
1. Where is the RSS feed link?
2. After all, really, where IS the link for the RSS feed?
3. Infinite scroll (and the way the page keeps bouncing when you try
to scroll) make me positively queasy. I really really hate this
feature, and I hate it in the other websites I use that do this. I
want my multiple pages with links to Older/Newer. I want to be able to
TURN OFF infinite scroll.
4. I also want to turn on and off the embedded media. I have enough
memory problems with my browsers without adding this complication.
* I was going to say something more visceral, about exactly how it
makes my body feel to loathe it so much. Be glad I refrained.
I can’t take credit for this observation as someone RT’d someone in my timeline shortly after New Twitter launched, but I couldn’t find neither the tweet nor a version of that image so I recreated it.
While #NewTwitter f*cks up my background, I skipped to twilk.com (showing the people I follow who follow me back).
When I logged into Twitter this morning I noticed that my account had been integrated with the new version of Twitter. It's my understanding that Twitter is rolling this out to everyone over time. Everyone may have it by now, or maybe my turn just turned on for my turn this a.m. Whatever the case, I'm really digging the new version.
Above is a screen shot which what a flickr set link looks like in Twitter now. In the past if you pasted a link to a photo or a set on Flickr it would just be a text only link. Now you can actually expand the tweet and in the right pane a rich media panel shows up detailing your flickr photos visually. That's very slick. Sets especially are rich, with the ability to actually watch a mini slideshow version of the set right on Twitter itself.
I'm not sure yet if there is a way to automatically push daily Flickr uploads to your Twitter stream, or what this might even look like, but I'm really enjoying the ability to manually post more media rich links to Twitter.
I did use the tool on Flickr to link my Flickr/Twitter accounts, but I think this is more about giving me a special email address to tweet mobile flickr images than it is to auto publish my images like I have done in the past at Buzz or Friendfeed.
Geotags on photos it would appear now can also be included now on photos on Twitter. I haven't exactly figured this out yet and am not sure if it will happen automatically on flickr geotagged photos or not, but this second screenshot of my friend @Troy (who works at Twitter) shows a recent photo of his dog @JPG's account (who is now tweeting too) which shows what the geotag embed looks like.
One of my chief complaints about Twitter over the years as a photographer is that Twitter never did photos all that well. While sites like FriendFeed and Buzz provided a richer visual media experience, Twitter was always all text based and I never felt it particularly did a good job showing off photos. This new Twitter design though is pretty massive in terms of improving the visual appeal of Twitter for both myself and I'd think other photographers.
I'm actually using Twitter more and more these days based on some of the great new features like this that they've been rolling out. I also love their recently launched suggestions feature -- which is probably the best suggestion feature I've ever seen on any site on the web. I've found Twitter suggestions to be far more spot on in terms of suggesting new people that I might want to follow. Ever since they launched this feature it's been daily serving me up fresh and relevant suggestions on who I should follow. Many of the people are people that I was completely unaware I wasn't even following. By contrast suggestions on other sites like Buzz have been far less relevant for me.
Congrats to Twitter on the newtwitter. It's a great new improvement to the site.

Kevin gave us a detailed and passionate description of the development of #newtwitter from his perspective at its Product Lead.
Kevin also wrote up his experience of Brooklyn Beta.
I just got the "New Twitter" on my @tw1tt3rart account. Oh boy.
From a general user perspective, it is an overall improvement. (#TwitterArt-Specific observations with next image) The layout is awkward in some modes (with the "sidebar" being about as wide as the "main window"… but when navigating through the Tweet stream it is an improvement to be sure. The expanded navigation with the side bar has got to be what is driving the sometimes-lopsided layout.
In this pic, I've clicked on #TwitterArt to search, then the "Top Tweet" button which expands the data into the side-bar (with map, retweet, and hashtag data below the tweet) (perfect #TwitterArt handling here! Sweet!)
The data-heavy version of the side-bar is used in a lot of the navigation & for the most part seems great.
I also love that they kept the transparent side-bar hack working. I even test uploaded an animated avatar—and it worked for the first time ever. Those are small touches, no doubt, but I'm glad to see them.
The infinite scroll might be my favorite new feature. I hope that works in "Followers" too. It is not yet integrated, I guess, showing the number of followers with the message "You don't have any followers yet."
But on my page, with infinite scroll, you can go back through the tweet art 5X faster (or more) and without that lurking technical error… the robot with the claw fallen off. "Something is technically wrong." I'll miss him & fail whale but… no I wont! It is awesome! Huge improvement for my Tweet art at least, because people can see so much more of it before losing attention. I just skimmed back two months in seconds, not minutes. No more hitting MORE is a great thing.
More observations, from the perspective of #TwitterArt with my following image: Profile & Timeline

I just got the "New Twitter" on my @tw1tt3rart account. Oh boy.
From a #TwitterArt perspective, it is an overall improvement. Existing art tweets (that don't rely on the "invisible character") all work unchanged. But in New Twitter, the rendering versions of each tweet is more standardized: "most recent tweet" is no longer larger than the ones that follow it. "Statuses" view has the same line length/line break qualities as the other views (though it still inexplicably in a different font from the rest of Twitter)
The largest improvement is that the new standard width not only supports existing "vertically aligned" #TwitterArt but it also allows 2/3 more width options (per my formal constraints, at least.) (Constraint: I try to make vertically aligned #TwitterArt break the same in as many situations as possible. By standardizing situational rendering, Twitter has made my work much easier.)
The only downside is that my system now renders one "spacer" character at 1/4 width rather than 1 width. This is consistent with some other readers, like Hootsuite. But causes much #TwitterArt built with the "spacer" to collapse.
Oh well. Still a huge overall improvement. Very friendly towards vertically aligned #TwitterArt.

So Twitter has decided to abandon what made it so great and become a lobster trap ( aka "content consumption engine" ) just like Facebook? Ok.
Instead of honoring all of us who've been there since the beginning ( Making Ev and Biz billionaires BTW ) they've chosen to cast us aside in favor of more money.
This Ally bank ad sums that up nicely.
