At a glace it reminds me of any other forgettable corporate site. Maybe it's the shade of blue, maybe the globe in the background. Anyone else agree with me?
I'm not sure that's a mistake. Substitute _forgettable_ for _legitimate_ or _trustworthy_ and I bet we're honing in on the idea here. With tv news outlets constantly referring viewers to random tweets, and twitter's undeniable impact on the way information gets around on the internet, I see the home-page shift as a bit of a visual indication that the service isn't just for geeks and kids, anymore.
How the hell is this on the frontpage of HN? There is zero content in that article. It literally describes the colors and textual information contained in a screenshot of twitter's homepage.
It also looks like twitter switched to Old Twitter. Temporary? I was always an apologist for New Twitter (it adds features! most people don't leave it open!) but after New Twitter for a few months being dunked back into OT feels so much better.
