Unfortunately the change to the timeline approved by Twitter is bulky, awkward, and sucks. I’ve already decided to discontinue my twitter feed on my personal site. I’m debating on removing from my other two sites and the sites of clients.
A twitter feed is supposed to provide content to the user of my site. When the “official” timeline of my twitter feed interferes with the design and content of my site then it has to go. I refuse to allow my sites to look like crap.
