I hear there's a new twitter.com.

The tweetosphere has been deluged with talk about the new twitter.com. Out of curiosity I went and looked today, and, yes, I have it. A couple weeks ago it was all about Google live search. Nice, sure, fantastic technology.

But I don't ever go to twitter.com or google.com in my web browser. Both services have exposed their functionality via APIs, and I use tools that access them via their APIs. So I really don't think fancy new skins for Google or Twitter will affect me at all, besides forcing me to ignore commentary about how great they are or how someone doesn't have the new new yet.

In this regard, I guess I have to agree with Wired: the web is dead.
