Quality of graphic at top of widget very poor

Hi,

The issue is that I'm trying to put my logo at the top of my widget but the quality is very poor. After I upload it from my computer, I am forced to resize it and it's difficult to get anything that looks good. I'd prefer to not resize/alter its dimensions at all after I've created it here in Photoshop.

Ideally, I could upload the graphic exactly as I want it, and no resizing/alteration of my graphic would happen, it would just appear on the widget exactly as I submitted it. (As you can see, the original graphic that I'm sending is flawless.)

Please let me know how I can improve the quality of the graphic once it appears on the widget.

thanks,
Eric

Hi Grant, totally understand the logic behind "update" but also consider I'm not updating my "live" status, I'm working with a draft-- so the (natural) assumption is that "update" would "update" my saved draft. Not send something.

I don't think it's helpful to compare yourself to Twitter and most other clients-- Twitter and most other clients don't have drafts ;-)

Anyhow, happy to contribute the feedback and lovin' Brizzly so far!

Language around draft tweet interface not clear

When I go to the drafts folder, it's not clear that I have to "edit" the draft to send it... and then the button that actually sends the draft is labeled "update".

Offer a test account/test screen names for API

Hi, I'm working on app using the Twitter API and due to a dumb mistake on my part, I've accidently eaten up my 100 requests this hour. Now I have to sit on my hands for the next hour (or... more likely, and just as bad, sign up for another Twitter account).

My suggestion: Twitter should provide a test account for the API, that only gives you access to work with a preset group of screen names, like test_account1, test_account2, test_account3, etc. Some of these accounts could be following each other, etc. The idea is that it's something developers can play with without risk of locking themselves out of Twitter entirely. Like I just did :-)
