Why oh why, Twitter? You control both twitter.com and tweetdeck.twitter.com, yet each has a completely different workflow for adding a handle to a list!
Twitter:
Tweetdeck:
But it’s not just that there are two different workflows; it’s that they are similar enough for me to constantly confuse them! Here’s what my brain sees each time I’m presented with one of these dialogs:
…which is perfect if I’m inside Tweetdeck (the second image above). But if I’m on Twitter.com, I’m suddenly (and confusingly) inside of the “Make a new list” workflow:
What happens when I click out of that? Will I have a new “untitled” list? What happened to my original selections from the previous screen? I basically have to click ‘x’Â and start over to find out.
So I ask you, Twitter: Why settle for this cludgy and confusing experience when you already have a usable experience in Tweetdeck?
