He writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Quick Bar isn\u2019t offensive because we don\u2019t want Twitter making money with ads, or because we object to changes in the interface.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s offensive because it\u2019s deeply bad, showing complete disregard for quality, product design, and user respect, and we\u2019ve come to expect a lot more from Twitter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two weeks ago, I posted this<\/a> (which I still think is a must read albeit more drawn out version of Marco’s post).<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n

This is the single worst thing Twitter has ever done with their service and you can add another nail to the coffin for me using Twitter for iPhone & Mac. Tweetie was a fantastic piece of software and Twitter is destroying the\u00a0simplistic\u00a0beauty and functionality of this application with every update.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
