A few notes on the new design after a quick look and some read tweets:
- The textarea to compose a new tweet has gone from “What are you doing?” to “What’s happening?” to “Compose a new tweet” … #hmmz.
- NewNewTwitter still has these dreadful hashbang urls.
- DMs apparently are not prominent anymore. One reason for this could be fairly low usage? (#3), although I’d like to see some stats confirming this.
- The new Discover tab is all about storytelling, a trend which I’ve applauded before. Still some work to do (it’s nowhere when compared to Storify for example, but the basic idea is there)
- …
The iOS has also been updated to reflect these new changes. Guessing that Twitter for Mac will follow soon.
