@paulg and I dislike the mini icons, I should be able to turn those off in settings (like images you can). I always swipe to fav and RT

@paulg I love that the photos are drowning the text. There's suddenly so much more to photo composition. Haven't felt that in a long while

.@paulg I recall @msuster blogging about how he carefully choses a neat photo for each post. This twitter stream change is gonna be tough.

@paulg @davewiner But they're worth a thousand words! Which is what, like 10 to 15 tweets?

@paulg I'm sure the lure of selling promoted tweets / ads with images helped the decision

@paulg would be dead simple to make it a setting. you should be able to customize your stream.

@paulg And it's slowing the flow of the feed, taking longer to scan and read so not pleasant.

@paulg you should try http://notegraphy.com  to blend your great content with beatiful typographies. The Notes really stand out in twitter!!

@paulg My guess is the images are a much better advertising platform. It's too easy recognize and skim past their text ads.
