Yep, completely and utterly missing. It’s been the better part of a day without the much-maligned pile of fail feature that Twitter’s massive ego of a CEO insisted we’d all grow to love — and they’ve not said a word about it. Unfortunately, because of their noted silence on the matter, the odds are about 50/50 that the horrid thing will be back tomorrow, bright eyed and bushy-tailed. I believe this to be the likeliest case because it’s what I don’t want to happen.

I’m still crossing my fingers.

We mustn’t discount the possibility that Twitter may actually have killed the beast, once and for all. I wouldn’t count on it — there’s that whole sticky issue of Twitter’s self-affirming infallibility being at stake here, after all.

[UPDATE]:

After hours of pleasing me with their absence, Twitter’s foul retweets are back. It was nice while it lasted.

After rolling out their lackluster new retweet feature not but one day ago, Twitter today announced that it’s been “temporarily disabled.” According to Twitter, they’re simply working on “a few problems” that have occurred during the rollout.

Twitter: Here’s Your Problem

Nobody likes your failed feature. The fix is simple, just remove it and act like it never happened. That’s how everyone else is acting, because it’s garbage. Thanks.
