But who actually uses Twitter on the web, Robert? Everyone I know uses tweetdeck
- Alec Saunders
I use the Twitter web site often, as a complement to twitter clients both desktop and mobile.
- Odi Kosmatos
Alec, i do. Why? I hate tiny EXEs taking up memory that my IDE needs

Twitter is like Friendfeed with all your friends instead of just a few...
- Stephen Foskett
FriendFeed is like Facebook without the Apps
- Eli Juicy Jones
that's exactly why twitter is useful... it focuses on one thing and one thing alone, a 140 char message... that's why sms's succeed where multimedia messages fail!

Is there a way to collapse the comments once you've opened them?
- Pete Smith
simran, mms might have failed cause all phones are not mms compatible
- Vivek Puri
LOL! the way I tend to use twitter, it's nothing BUT comments and likes.. just not any good threading unless you have peoplebrowsr (and even then)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
It's not paused because Tweetdeck, etc. can refresh automatically. It has RTs instead of likes. I agree a client needs to implement inline YouTube/Flickr/etc. but these are client issues. FriendFeed client may be superior to Twitter's web client but there are other Twitter clients out there.
- Aral Balkan
Ooh, that said you can *edit* your stuff... oooh, now that I like :)
- Aral Balkan
no one uses the twitter website Robert. I actually like having a second client open to monitor things but that's me
- Seth Goldstein
Twitter doesn't have like but it has a favourite option. If spreading the word is the objective there is always an RT =D By the way, I have been using twitter website more since the new design rolled out.. feel snappier than before esp. when shuttling betw @mentions and home

We're definitely intrigued by the convergence of the Friendfeed and Twitter (and new Facebook) UIs and the implications for usability and user conventions. First thoughts here: http://bit.ly/4muyzM

@vivek, all phones did not introduce mms capability because the takup rate was abysmal! not all phones were SMS enabled when SMS came out!
- simran
@simran, SMS was made part of the GSM standard 24 years back. And current use of SMS is not what it was intended for. For more, you always have wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

I am thinking that if know one uses the Twitter web interface then it's going to be a tough monetization unless they start charging a licensing fee for the API.
- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
But honestly...does it even really matter? After all having the best product has next to nothing to do with whether or not you have a dominant product in terms of marketshare.
- Devlin Dunsmore
I hope FriendFeed is not trying to be the next Twitter/Facebook and stays aware of it's core-feature which was (imho) a quick & dirty way of getting good discussions running.. I don't need real time updates of everything.. HEEEEEELP!
- Dan van Moll
looooooooooooooooooool Everyone is freaking out without toying with the lists I think!!! haha This is a funny day online.
- Aaron S
I wish Friendfeed had a "dislike" button too. (Not for this post, but others...)
- Kevin Trotman
Yeah, seriously using the Twitter website for Twitter is like driving a car out of the factory with just wheels bolted to the engine, nothing else. The API is there but you're only getting the bare magic without the proper experience.
- Glenn Batuyong
But, I keep going back to the twitter web interface. It's a matter of critical mass of something something.
- Mike Nayyar
@vivek ... case in point... people transform technologies to be useful... they have done so with twitter, they will do so with ff... being part of the GSM spec means nothing... handsets had to support it and support for it grew after a lont time and bitwise... look at the practical uses, not theoretical papers, if you want to understand trending (as opposed to "possibility").
