I did notice that after I wrote this post. I have a feeling that something bigger is coming, and this is just a precursor to it.

Not clear why they did that as well. They also changed the URL to http://twitter.com/timeline/home from http://twitter.com/home. Not clear why they did that as well.

But simple things like groups or personal lists would be nice. They just reworked the replies to be "mentions" in the past week, but it had been a feature of many of the desktop apps for ages. Design is something that can have simple changes with "big" results. TLR

You suggest that theys are somewhat simplistic, but then isn't that the beauty of the platform? Granted, some further functionality would be fantastic, but I have always been reasonably pleased with Twitter as a platform. All too often, sites continue to develop their tools, overly complicatin manyg a service that is inherently simple. I think it would be a shame if Twitter compromised its simplicity in pursuit of functionality. TLR hey there,
