A bunch of Twitter's alpha and
beta testers for Android might
have fired up their apps today,
and thought they'd been kicked
out of the program. After all, the
social network recently scrapped
the new design it debuted to
intrepid early adopters in
September and brought its older
look back. Check out, Twitter introdues alpha experiment program to android users The familiar buttons
take their place on top of the
app again, replacing the menu
that allowed testers to swipe
their way from one stream to
another. Twitter took elements
from both designs, though, so it
isn't a complete throwback to the
old interface. Alpha users , in
particular, see an entirely
different Discover section that
features a basic list view and a
detailed view that shows sample
tweets. Also, the prompt that
pops up when you post a tweet
comes with a note that reads
"Are you in [city, state]?" below
"What's happening?" According
to TechCrunch, the microblogging
site has been getting mixed
feedback from its testers, which
could've influenced the firm's
decision. Whatever the real
reason is, it looks like Twitter
has more than a few kinks left to
iron out before it unleashes an
overhauled app to the general
populace.
