Hey Twitter, Tear Down These Lines
Remember the Quick Bar? Twitter would probably prefer you didn't. It was an enormously unpopular and widely mocked feature the company introduced into its iPhone app: a promoted trend constantly hovering in a grey bar at the top of the screen. Referencing Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, wags began to refer to it as the "dickbar." Whatever you called it, it was removed in less than a month, and Twitter showed appropriate contrition. It was a feature that would have brought in a lot of advertising dollars. But the users had spoken, and Twitter is nothing if not a company that listens to its users. Now, fellow Twitter users, let's talk about these blue or grey lines that were added to our feeds this week Read more...More about Twitter, Dick Costolo, Dickbar, and Social Media http://j.mp/19RFypm

What is dickbar?
The dickbar.org is down, so here is a cached version of the page.
“Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today. We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what’s happening outside the home timeline. Evidence of the incredibly high usage metrics for the QuickBar support this. For now, we’re going back to the drawing board to explore the best possible experience for in-app notification and discovery.”
We hated it. You removed it. Come back to use when you can create an app better than the third party apps we all know and use, a lot more than yours!
