20 must-follow Twitter feeds

What and put web "programmers" out of work?By Anonymous on January 16, 2009, 10:24 pmAll of that fancy flash/java/javascript crap means more IT jobs! Why do you hate America?

Use mouseover to get the listBy Anonymous on January 10, 2009, 10:42 pmAnnoying, but a good workaround (sort of) is to mouseover the thumbnails to get some indication. EVEN BETTER than a simple bullet list would be an "open all these websites in a new Tab", so I can go look at them MYSELF godammit!

Could you just type up aBy Anonymous on January 8, 2009, 1:44 pmCould you just type up a simple list? This reminds me of "mystery meat" navigation.

Lame article - decent content, bad formatBy Anonymous on January 8, 2009, 3:03 amLame, who has time to click 20 times to see a bunch of feeds! Why not just list them on 1-2 pages, of all people a tech writer should know that!

I thought an article = writingBy Anonymous on January 7, 2009, 10:20 pmBut maybe I am old -- or cranky from seeing far too many content-free slide shows in this industry. I am reminded of Edward Tufte's The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint -- and of the famous Gettysburg address (http://norvig.com/Gettysburg/) Sorry folks, I will not click through another slide show to read the notes. Graphics should support the thinking, not replace it. This article could have been done nicely on a single page.

I'm out of here. I clickedBy Anonymous on January 5, 2009, 9:20 pmI'm out of here. I clicked expecting to see a list of Twitter Feeds... in text.... on one page ... maybe 2. Can't find them.

Aahhh, so I have to click onBy Anonymous on January 5, 2009, 10:51 amAahhh, so I have to click on the slideshow? I'm not familiar with the web site, I thought the slides were random junk advertisement. I was thinking I was in the wrong page, and hoped there would be an link to the article from the comments. Take note: The good thing with written word is you can present a large amount of it in a single page. Easier to read.

but does anyone care?By kkarney on October 15, 2008, 3:04 pmWhen was the last time somebody said "this slide-show thing is a great idea." I'm guessing never. But I see complaints every time. Here's another.

Article not user-friendlyBy zornwil on October 9, 2008, 4:54 pmPlease accept this as constructive criticism...it is really painful as a user to have to click through each slide to just get a few words of wisdom on the side bar. Especially where the pictures don't seem to add anything to the article, and particularly, please consider, many of us are actually reading these articles for job-related reasons (i.e., in this case, are there truly worthwhile enterprise uses of Twitter for my company), and this article is so brief it could have easily been put up in one single page as is normal for articles. I'll set aside completely the issue of whether the content is of any value, and hope you'll take seriously and focus on the usability. Thanks.
