> frankly I think they fixed the UI for this years ago, and just don't understand the complaints anymore "fixed the UI" is a big overstatement - they improved the UI from utterly horrible to barely usable (for this purpose). > you click the link, and can scroll through messages as if it were an article. Imagine if someone wrote an article by creating a phpBB forum thread and posting every couple of sentences as a post on the thread. That's what this is like, for the rest of us - since you have a half million followers, your brain is probably used to filtering out all the crap and parsing the posts quickly. But the vast majority of us don't use Twitter as much or at all, and this adds a mental tax for all of us. That's why the thread readers are so successful - you're not the target audience of them, but most of the rest of the Internet users are.
