What a great idea!

How did the waste-of-precious-data that is the ‘Twitter Go Mobile’ ad make the redesign cut?

Among all the nitpicking & general confusion around the new Twitter UI, it’s comforting to see our old friend, the ‘Twitter Go Mobile’ ad still greeting us inanely upon signout.

What a great idea!

This drives me nuts because I access Twitter about 150,000 times/day from mobile. How can they not know that?

I have a better idea for this space: “Hey, we noticed you’ve signed out more than once today. Got several accounts? Here’s how to easily switch between them* without enduring the godforsaken clusterdance that is Twitter’s password autofill.”

And then present me with that helpful ability instead of the ultimate in rage-inducing untargeted advertising.


*Just realized this may be a feature & not a bug. Wrong-piping would surely spike if I was merrily flipping between accounts all day. Wouldn’t want to end up on next year’s 21 Most Horrific Social Media Facepalms.
