Completely agreed re: your Twitter page (and any other marketing channel) needing to serve your business objectives.
As quality design is one factor in establishing trust in a brand, we feel that when brands get something so basic as layout of their Twitter profile wrong, it warrants a nod and perhaps a nudge, which is what this post is intended to be.
Granted, most of the world isn't seeing twitter at full size on a huge screen. Our goal is simply - let's make it perfect for everyone in one fell swoop.
We specifically decided to avoid teaching people design in this post. That is forthcoming. :)
Also, thanks for the feedback on our own site - we just launched about 60 hours ago and are still working out a few kinks. We'll get this fixed pronto.
Best, Paul Grieselhuber
Thanks again for pointing out the super high-res on Retina screens. We've updated the post. If you have any more feedback, feel free to leave a comment on the post!!
