Congrats on Your New Twitter Account
Posted in Web Stuff on September 28th, 2010 by AstNow, quit rubbing it in my fucking face.
It’s two weeks after the announcement of the Twitter redesign and guess what? There are a bunch of us who still don’t have access to it. Is it your fault? No. Are we going to blame you when you start rubbing it in everyone’s face that you got the new design? Fuck yes we are.
Yes, I’m fucking bitter. I use Twitter daily. Friends of mine who log in no more than once a week are starting to get access, yet I continue with the old interface. You know, I don’t even WANT the new fucking design anymore, honestly. I just want the motherfuckers who are rubbing it in my face to shut the fuck up.
I blame Twitter for my anger. They released the fucking redesign to people who were important to their PR first. Then they released it to the people who are rich, famous or both. I’m terribly sorry I don’t have one-hundred thousand or a million followers. I’m sorry that I’m not as important to you as Oprah or Ashton Kutcher.
None of the people Twitter released the redesign to first matter one fucking WIT to me. Most of the people I know couldn’t give a rat’s ass about them either.
In the end, Twitter, leave my account as is. I don’t want your fucking redesign. I stopped caring a week ago. Quit being a bunch of lilly-assed pansy-fucks and just release the design to the rest of the world (except me because I don’t fucking want it). You’ve had two weeks to figure out if it works. Stop being a bunch of assholes and fucking with your users. They hate you now.
In closing, all I can say is favoritism and random selection both suck worse than any other option for design release and, surprise, Twitter opted for BOTH tactics.
Fuck you very much,
–Me
P.S. I’m not announcing if I ever get the new twitter because I can’t be arsed to advertise their release failure.
Edit:
I posted this a week ago and just at the end of last week, Twitter proudly announced that “now more than 50% of Twitter users had the new design.” Good. fucking. job. While they’re at it they could say things like “now more than 50% of all inmates don’t get raped in jail.” Yeah, but that still leaves a lot of people bent over and fucked. If twitter were a little less successful this would probably KILL their fucking business model.
Something to think about.
