Image of Twitter's new design
Something that I’ve noticed lately is that twitter.com, a popular social networking and microblogging service, has decided to redo their user’s experience by redesigning their site. Now I, for one, am really excited to try this new design out. But I have a problem with twitter regarding this.
The day twitter announced this change was on September 14th 2010. And which they, in the process of WEEKS, would roll out their new design. In my opinion, it’s not a very bright idea. To tell users what’s new, and then have them wait an extraneous amount of time to even get it. What if they don’t like it? Other sites will announce their new feature (and sometimes make a video), saying what’s changed and everyone would have that new feature all at once on that date. Why couldn’t you just release this redesign all at once?
If twitter didn’t tell us about this new feature and released it afterwards SLOWLY, nobody would be waiting in agony in front of their monitor for what seems to be weeks. I thought the “Big Night” was the actual release date…
