Twitter

I really like twitter.  I think its cool how you can hear what anybody has to say the moment they say it, so my problem isnt with twitter but its with the interface.  If you have ever used twitter then chances are that you have used the search bar.  For this example lets say you want to find Shaq O'Neill.  So when you type something into the search bar, like Shaq, and press enter you expect Shaq to be the first result.  Thats not the case however.  Twitter default makes you search for tweets that contain the word you searched for.  So instead of getting Shaq's page you get the most recent post that has Shaq in it.  If you want to search for people you have to click on the people tab.  Now if you  want to search for another person you type the name in press enter and it returns you to the tweet page.  If you are already on the person tab then your search should return people and not tweets.
An even worse problem is with the mobile twitter.  There are no tabs.  So if you want to add someone to who you follow then you better hope your near a computer because you cant do it from your phone.

gmail

I love how the school switched to gmail.  Gmail provides a lot more features as well as a better interface.  However there is one problem, changing your password.  If you have tried and failed or not tried yet let me walk you through the process:
1) Click on settings
2) Go to the accounts tab
3) Click Google account settings
4) Click change password

Why does it take 4 different pages just to do something as simple as changing your password?  Aren't steps 1 and 3 the same?  I actually couldn't figure this out for a couple weeks until I was fed up with it and hunted it down.  As much as I love Google (Chrome, Android, Google Maps) I can't understand why they don't want people to change their password.  It should be click on settings click change password, people shouldn't have to go through all these steps to simply change their password.

My Bed

This is an issue that I need to deal with every night.  The issue is that at the head of my bed there are about 5 inches between the end of my bed and the wall.  Every night I end up sleeping with only one pillow because the other one falls between the bed and the wall, and its really annoying.  There is a bar that runs parallel to the bed but it is too high up and doesn't help this problem at all.  My roommate was complaining about it the other day too so I know that it isn't just me

YouTube

The design that i want to look at this week is the design of YouTube.  I am a really big fan of YouTube except for one main thing the play/pause button.  The most important button on the screen is the that button and they make it hard to find.  If you have ever been down towards the bottom of the page (by the comments) and then needed to pause the video or shut the volume off, you need to scroll all the way up the page and find that little button.  My suggestion is that when you are on that page make a set of buttons on the bottom of the window that always stay at the bottom almost like the buttons at the top of the screen (back, forward, refresh).  If you put all the buttons that are on YouTube at the bottom you would not need to scroll all the way up to pause the video.
