Oh yeah, absolutely. It's just that it seems that half an hour of CSS would make it cleaner and I'm surprised that nobody at Twitter finished something on a Friday afternoon and thought "ok, let me clean this up a little bit" instead of starting something else :)

- benreesman 17y agoI like making fun of Twitter as much as the next guy, although in all fairness when I saw this graph I decided to give them a little more credit. They're facing ongoing, unbounded growth. I can't claim to have handled that kind of scaling, let alone handled it without a hitch. http://alexa.com/siteinfo/twitter.com http://alexa.com/siteinfo/twitter.com (make sure to set the timeframe to 'max' to see what i'm talking about)
