Hey - was in your beta when it first came out - tried it once and then didn't go back. To me it just wasn't instantly gratifying - too much setting up to do before it got compelling.

Happy to give it another go because it's been quite a while but: 1) Where did the sexy interface go? http://dribbble.com/prmack/projects/16669-Tweetdig 2) Nothing's happening when I click around.

Hi Jon, thanks for giving us a go back when we started!

We had a lot of people saying that the initial setup was too much, so we've tried to make it a bit easier by providing suggested filters and back filling with data so there's something to see straight away.

With regards to the previous interface, people just couldn't work out how to use it. We did some real life user tests and they couldn't do simple tasks such as create a folder. The new interface, whilst not as nice to look at, is much more usable by end users we've found.
