After using it in tandem with TweetDeck for a couple of days now, I’m still impressed with Twitter.com’s revamp: no longer just a list of 140-character lines, the new Twitter.com is a rich iPad-like web application. Over at FastCompany earlier this week, I ran through a screenshot tour of the redesign and why it gives your favorite Twitter app a run for its money.

I’ve been using Twitter … barley … for many months. I started out with a bunch of automate follows based on some keywords that interested me and now follow 411 and have 183 followers.
But I never saw a single tweet in that stream that was of the slightest interest to me. So then I set up some lists and added only people who’s blogs I read every day or who’s podcasts I can’t live without.
Still nothing of interest.
I added completeandroid to one of the lists and it pushed everything else on that list right off the bottom. I did discover that the book can be read on-line for free, so I think that’s the first useful thing I’ve seen on Twitter.
I think the problem for me is that it take too much effort to look at it. I look at the first page of the main feed. Then I look at the first page of each of my four lists. The interface just isn’t user friendly enough for me. I wish it looked more like Google Reader, which is where I spend most of my on-line surfing time.
I really prefer a well written article with a few pictures. Not too long and not too short.
So I never could have tweeted this comment. In a 140 characters or less I would say, “Twitter sucks, at least for me!”
Peace,
