TweetDeck is honestly the only way I've found to make Twitter usable. Twitter the idea is great. Twitter the company is so bad that its existence makes me question how capitalism has survived as long as it has.

Check out http://tapbots.com/tweetbot/, but don't tell Twitter about them so they don't get acquired and shut down.

I really wanted to like tweetbot but it beachballs allllll the time. It's a shame because twitter really screwed up their new version of twitter for mac. I'm left without a usable twitter client atm :/

You'd think their team of 2500 engineers could release a working app or two.

I haven't run into that. Did you try getting a hold of their support?

It is not capitalism that is the problem in this case. There is a fair amount of inertia involved but sooner or later it will correct itself. Looking at the stock price it is happening.

Now there are other things in capitalism that could be considered problems but twitters survival isn't one of them.

Edit: First time I'm hit with downvotes here on HN without arguments why I'm wrong. Fascinating...
