Now that it is gone I have the feeling they are hoping we all forget about it.I myself ...

These are the people that still have the status message saying they are working hard on fixing IM features. What are your thoughts? Have you seen any secret screenshots?Don't get me wrong I am far from a Twitter hater but sheesh, ...

This seemed to me time consuming and redundant. I ...
