Most of you already know that I’m not much of a Twitter fan, but I still use them because it’s the hottest thing in social media. Today, Twitter launched their new homepage design, and I must admit I like the new look. It has a nice and simple design with a prominent search bar at the top.
Besides design, what I look for in websites is their usability and practicality. I’m having doubts about their new search feature. It’s bad enough that most people don’t go past the 1st page when searching for stuff, but the results are real time which means that you’re not always getting the best or most relevant results. Is content on Twitter really meaty and compelling enough to justify search based solely on Tweets? What do you think?
I think it’s a step in the right direction, I find myself now days getting lost in twitter so hopefully a search feature will help me find tweets relevant to what I’m interested in at that moment. I’ll pop in and give it a try over the next couple of days, thanks for the heads up
