At times I wonder if the guys who run Twitter have a small department assigned only the task of finding a way to annoy the shit out of their users just to see who will leave, and who won't. I think it's almost a sick game to them at times. The UI has been reworked so many times no one can stand it. They made app devs go in line with what they want as a "user experience" with an iron fist. They bought Tweetdeck, swore they wouldn't touch it, and then beat it like a red headed step child just because we love it.
Recently, they started forcing promoted topics on us and promoted tweets in our timeline.....
Now, we get a friendly weekly reminder of how annoying they can really be with "the best of Twitter in a weekly email digest delivered to your inbox. This summary features the most relevant Tweets and stories shared by the people you’re connected to on Twitter."
Really? As if having to read, and mostly ignore, so much of the stupidity in my timeline isn't bad enough. Now I get a digital reminder of how much I want to punch people in the face.
Stories feature a design similar to the recently updated Discover tab, emphasizing who shared each story beneath summaries to help you decide which ones matter most to you. Click any headline to finish reading the story, add your take by tweeting directly from the email, and see related Tweets from the people you follow.
This new email digest also features the most engaging Tweets seen by the people you follow, even if you don’t follow those who wrote them. You can see who from your network retweeted or favorited these Tweets and click “View details” to retweet, favorite, reply or view the conversation around them.
Or I can stare at my screen, call that user a dumb fuck like I did earlier in the week when they originally posted it, and flip them off.
This fabulous new feature is rolling out in the new few weeks or so. Once live, it's recommended you change your preferences in the Notification Settings.
