riiiiight, beyond cherry picked anecdotal evidence, I guess that explains the MAU numbers, because errrybody is on twitter twatting away incessantly<p>twitter was an interesting novelty a few years ago but you can&#x27;t sustain a worldclass communication platform when the user can&#x27;t figure out how to use it effectively or how to keep track of and follow conversations<p>when the average user has to become a developer or a UI expert in your own freakish cult of UI to be able to use your product... well, don&#x27;t be surprised when they leave in a confused herd<p>this isn&#x27;t rocket science, old fashioned bboards and forums up to now have this stuff figured out<p>but twitter came along and said, F* that! what we need are MODAL windows out the yin-yang to confuse the hell out of each and every user until they leave and go use something with better UI
