Usability---Twitter :)



I don't visit too many websites--but Twitter is definitely a regular for me. My Twitter is always logged in, so when I go to twitter.com, the screen shot above is what shows up for me. The page is layered with a background of my choice. The front layer is centered, and separated into two sections. The "tweet" section takes up 3/4ths of the top layer, and the info/links section takes up the other fourth. The links in the info section are really easy--I can look at who's following me, who I'm following, I can check out today's trending topics, and search without going to another page. The top right corner has links that allow me to edit my page/settings and find people. The site is really easy to use, and I can click on any of the links (up top or in the "info" section) without scrolling down. I can also visit my friends page, tweet, or retweet with the click of my mouse and still without scrolling down! Twitter may not be the most sophisticated of websites, but it's definitely one of the easiest and most functional sites on the web!
