…and yet, no real reason given as to what happened with the Retweets this morning.
Anyone else thinking this?
It’s all about communication, Twitter. We just want to know what’s happening…
Twitter, as you hear me say in Speak Geek to Me, is being hailed as one of the greatest innovations in modern communications. What does it mean, then, when a tool that revolutionizes how we exchange ideas and share thoughts suddenly decides shut its users out and make a change without notification?
Changing its interface as one would change underwear, Twitter apparently pulled a back-handed “Give the People What They Want” by removing the new Retweet feature. This feature has been in Beta since the Fall of this year and Twitterakians were kept in the loop as early as idea conception. Sure, there was a slight learning curve and not everyone took to it, but third-party clients adopted it into their user interfaces and many like TweetDeck and Twittelator Pro added the functionality with their own flair. I even covered it in the last Bird House with a video addendum.
But this morning I got a tweet from John Merlin (@zard) from the UK:
Finally….after several attempts…after daring the Fates…after waiting for just the right time…and weathering an unseasonal snowfall in Washington, D.C.
TEE MORRIS’ TWEETDECK EPISODE!
This has been a long time coming, and I have decided to pull out all the stops and not only post a longer-than-usual BHR, but in the feed tomorrow and posting on YouTube as well will be an accompanying video companion to this podcast, filmed and edited on both Camtasia and the Final Cut Suite, bit-cheeezzz!
A labor of love and a lot to take in, here comes the highlights of TweetDeck v0.32.1!

So, I turned my back for a moment, and Twitter went on and changed their interface on me. Hello! Well, maybe it’s not that dramatic, but it did need to be addressed, especially if you are using All a Twitter as your guide though beginning steps. It may not seem like a big deal, but here’s a quick glimpse of what someone’s page on Twitter.com looks like now…
Thank you, Dan Sawyer, for loaning me your Twitter.com page as a show-and-tell!
Let’s take ten for this Bird House Rules to talk about some of the tweaks that have taken place on your Twitter homepage.
Quick reminder: I’m going to be speaking at Blogworld this year, so please come on out and say “Hi!” I also encourage tweeting from my speaking events. Keeps things lively!
