Comment on AOL acquires Thing Labs (Brizzly)parent

Comments

I use Brizzly on a daily basis, but I might switch to the "new" Twitter. And I too wonder if they'll die off.

What I love that the new Twitter UI has: * infinite scroll * in-line media (embedded videos/images)

Why I might not make the switch yet: * their mute feature (useful when following someone who's tweeting way too much irrelevant stuff) * they crowd-source explanation of trending topics (offers a quick way to find out what's going on w/o doing a search)

#newtwitter has a "hidden" way of muting people actually: http://praxx.is/post/1207623920/muting-users-in-newtwitter

thanks, good to know. i'm def. switching then... when i get it.

Twitter's implementation of inline media is superior IMO. With Brizzly, images are shown automatically. With #newtwitter, you have to click a tweet to see the image, but it loads up very quickly.

I'd rather not be shown every image someone tweets.
