As mentioned in other HN threads, recently twitter has changed everyone's message settings so you are much less likely to be able to send someone a private message and now requires people to log in to read it. That is is very inconvenient. The only aspect of the rebrand that I care about is that they are wasting a second of my time showing the new logo full-screen when a page loads.
