1. Why the Quick Bar is still so offensive →

    Marco Arment:

    Twitter’s product direction is usually incredibly good and well-thought-out, and their implementation is usually careful and thoughtful. And in the context of this app, most of which was carefully and thoughtfully constructed by Loren Brichter before Twitter bought it from him, we’re accustomed to Brichter’s even higher standards, which won Tweetie an Apple Design Award in 2009.

    This. My biggest gripe with the quickbar isn’t the advertising. It’s that I can’t pay money for a better twitter client: twitter bought the best one and they’re ruining it. They haven’t ruined it yet, mind you, but if they keep this up they just might.
