"Already his team has unveiled a major design overhaul. On the margin of users’ pages they added a search box and a list of “trending topics,” subjects that are most popular with tweeters at a given time."

seriously? the placement of that search box and trending list really set the world on fire. i'm not really hating on twitter, but common - a search box and a list of data on the right margin? they should have mentioned the saved searches. better yet, bowman should have landed with twitterrific, twhirl or tweetie.

In fact, Bowman had very little if anything to do with this latest redesign. This design had been around for months in beta testing already.
