Twitter was never intended for a desktop experience. The more horrendous they make it, the more likely you are to capitulate and view it mobile.

There lies my problem with Twitter.

I never feel the need to use it while outside, on mobile, because I'm, well, experiencing the things outside. I feel like a phone for tweeting interrupts the experience.

I can only ever think of clever quips to say in front of my computer. Which is funny, because I'm boring in front of my computer in real life.

It feels that way. However, I can't imagine that would be the actual strategy. If I am at my desk, I am at my desk for reasons that Twitter's poor design probably can't compete with.
