A Subtle Twitter Fcuk Up – And Why It Is Important?

06. Dec, 2009 0 Comments

Now that’s not about Twitter Fail-Whale or twitter’s ridiculous downtime. Twitter is one great service with quite a few fuck ups. And this one matters most for me. Have you noticed ever that, there is no way to know for which profile or user name you are logged in? I mean look at the services including Google, Yahoo, AOL or Facebook. You can see your user name in the top right most corner of the page. And Twitter? No way. I have more than one twitter accounts. One for this blog @goospoos, one is my personal @divyang_patel and one of my other project @startupforum_in. Now ones I logged in with any one of these ids on twitter and start exploring profiles of friends and other people, I happily forgot for which account I am logged in. And I start following my personal contacts on my blog twitter id or startup twitter id or vice-versa.

Look at the picture below. That’s a partial screen capture of twitter homepage. And I can’t see my user name on it. Only way to know for which account you are logged in is, to go to the ‘profile’ link.
