Twitter removing the #dickbar from the iPhone app
- justinxreese 16y ago"we will frequently experiment by trying new things, adding new features" I can't remember any features that were tested publicly and weren't kept. Can anyone help me out here?
- remi 16y agoI don't know if one can count the IM client as a tested-then-removed feature. It was shut down for "maintenance" or something and never brought back to life…
- modernerd 16y ago"We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what’s happening outside the home timeline." Significant benefits like increasing the adoption rate for third-party twitter clients, perhaps. "Evidence of the incredibly high usage metrics for the QuickBar support this." I tapped it once by accident while trying to swipe to see if I could delete it. If twitter want to turn a spammy feature into a useful one, they need to start asking users about their interests, or else attempt to determine them algorithmically.
