I agree and think that Twitter is an excellent marketing channel. I think this UI change is a great way for Twitter Admins to establish or verify a baseline for manual follow/unfollow vs the same automated activities. The result should aid TA’s in strengthening their back-end in may ways.

There’s a remote possibility for Twitter to shut down one of these days? I really hate this kind of Social Media Marketing :)

The old UI used to allow you to hover over usernames to obtain bio info. That was a lot more useful than the new options.

I like the new interface, although there is something that I would like to be added to Twitter and that would be being able to search within a persons followers, especially if they have 10000 followers and I wanted to see if a person I new was following them. I hope that makes sense? @dirtyplates

Hi,

I agree with Randy about the unfollow.

The fact that I can see the last tweet is not that important for me. I had people following me with only 5 updates and following thousands of tweeters. If they could list the last 3 tweets, the persons profile, number of followers and updates tha I think it would be a useful feature.

The followers is OK but I don’t like the following. I much preferred it when I could glance at the list and see who was following me back and who wasn’t. If I wanted to unfollow is was one click.

Now I have to click to see who is following me back and who isn’t. This would have been better as four small buttons instead of just the one with the drop down.

At least that is my opinion.

Tweeting aside, I think the best way to get page rank is to have a great product. I know that is easier said then done but the better your product is, the more buzz your site will get, the more backlinks , and so on. Make sure your product is unique in the marketplace.
