Like anything else, the main site (#newt...Hey all!<br /><br />Like anything else, the main site (#newtwitter) has its good and bad points. But I think that's the point — they should iron out the bad points (some of which people have been quite vocal about) and roll out the same functionality to the on-board apps before curtailing what third parties do.<br /><br />David, it's funny but I think I like the iPad client best of all the "official" Twitter clients. Although the OSX version is starting to grow on me, especially after I found how nice the multiple-account feature works.<br /><br />Very good point, Monica, and it's a point that many companies have ignored to their detriment. It's not like microblogging is rocket science, Twitter has the momentum right now but Google had one (can't remember the name) that they could revive.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-25562159450002633372011-03-14T16:34:29.360-04:002011-03-14T16:34:29.360-04:00I don't know who twitter thinks they're fo...I don't know who twitter thinks they're fooling. If people would rather use a 3rd party adaptation of your site it should be a WAKE UP CALL.

If feels familiar whether you're on iPhone/iPod, iPad or Mac, and it seems really well thought out.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029594669702704021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-27206711729578759082011-03-13T23:11:36.095-04:002011-03-13T23:11:36.095-04:00If the masters of Twitter want to make the main si...If the masters of Twitter want to make the main site function faster, more efficiently, with every option everyone on every platform desires, then please, let them go ahead.
