I really do not care about being able to view photos and video but if I could preview links and manage my lists something like Yoono does then that would be awesome
I'm very curious to try this out. I didn't use Twitter until I discovered Tweetie, since the website was just too much manual labor. The UI is such a crucial piece of the Twitter experience so I hope this will be a nice, big boost for Twitter.
Another big thing is that the ecosystem is feeding back into twitter.com now. Apps aren't just built on top of what Twitter puts out, but Twitter also pulls that information back in. This has a lot of potential that goes beyond what Facebook can do with it's walled gardens.
Most of my Twitter use is through third party clients rather than their website. I don't envision this redesign changing my usage patterns much, though I think it's definitely a good step for them. I'll give it a chance; maybe I'll find myself on twitter.com more rather than desktop/phone clients and twitpic.
I'm really interested to see how this redesign affects people's perception of Twitter. From the screenshots, it looks like this is a stepping stone to a more comprehensive social application.
The paradigm indicated by the deeper content view - like pulling in full Flickr sets - is encouraging. I'd love for it to include the full text of linked articles, for example.
As this matures, I'll definitely consider using it in its own Fluid app - like I do with Gmail, Lighthouse, and other web applications.
