Still Waiting For The New Twitter
On September 15 Twitter announced a new web front end that would change the way people use the service. A new two paned interface that would rival all the third party apps people use to post their messages. The new UI is being rolled out incrementally which means that it could take a while for any specific user to get it.
Now, nearly 3 weeks later, I still don’t have the new Twitter. And to be honest I’m starting to get impatient. I’d really like to give the new interface a spin and see what all the buzz is about.
With that in mind I started doing research to see if there was anything I could do to force an update to the new Twitter. The answer is no. There is nothing an individual can do to make Twitter give them the new interface. Alas, all I (and other old Twitterers) can do is wait until whatever algorithm Twitter is using for the roll out decides it’s my time. Sigh.
In the hope that I’m wrong if anyone knows a way to force the reall Twitter to a specific account please let me know in the comments.

Oct. 11 is Doomsday for Microsoft
October 11 is the day for the big launch of Phone 7. Skype and Twitter name two new CEO’s. Google TV is coming with a lot of partners. FCC investigating mystery charges. Toshiba doing glasses-free 3D. David Gelertner gets huge settlement from Apple after Apple used his patents. I have a short rant on the topic. Samsung doing deal with Docomo. Are they still around? Wasted food is lost energy! Ack.

Google Wins One.
