The only other issue I have is a minor UI gripe. When you click on the run in background button, the progress bar and cancel button for the background tweet covers the back button on the main part of the app. It’s odd that they did that.
EDIT: never mind, I just got the app update. I guess app store updates are not atomic.
Yeah, I was able to get the iPad update by uninstalling the iPhone-only version and reinstalling it, but not through the traditional "Update" tab. Some things start to get strange at the scale of the App Store.
What does that mean? How does that happen? What exactly are people getting "addicted" to?
I've used Twitter here and there, posted, or used it for a real-time search, but it just seems like retweets of the same articles over and over again, and then just constant regurgitation of the same information ... or tweets about nothing at all.
If you're still using Twitter, why? What value can I possibly extract from this thing? What are you getting out of it?
Twitter definitely has value - it's just completely overwhelmed with junk.
It is just like the old chat rooms for some people. They will post 100s of tweets a day, stuff that happened to them, but mainly response to other people. It is an ongoing conversation these people are having over weeks and months. They make friends with some, then lose them.
Lots of people don't use twitter that way, and I don't think it is the best way.
I got started realizing I can follow smart people doing phds, entrepreneurs, hackers etc who are doing things I'm interested in. And occasionally, I can ask them questions.
My followee list has evolved over time when my interests change or when someone gets too noisy.
Wonder if it's a bug or intentional that they're now releasing this info. I might not be update the app...
For example, mine is feed://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/13192.rss

Wasn't the selling point of the iPad that it was a simple to use platform and device, with everything running fullscreen and without confusing stacks and layers of applications and windows? That it wasn't a "normal" computer?
Amazing how quickly things go full circle these days.
There's no mixing around, and everything's entirely linear. That's different from a windowing system, in which several different things are clamoring for your attention and mixing together.
