Public bug reported: Can be good I think to put the thumbnail image/video at right rather than at bottom (that saves plenty of space in height, allowing us to see clearly more tweets at once especially on a small screen and… looks better!). Can be thought as a grid with 2 columns: one for the tweet content and info at left, one for the thumbnail image/video at right.
Also, two good things in addition about the Echofon system used: 1/ We always have a SQUARE format, identical in every tweet: I love when it's homogeneous! :^) 2/ Therefore, we better see the thumbnail in a square like that (just compare the two screenshots below) Just see Birdie: http://i.imgur.com/7EGbXJv.png Versus "Echofon for Mac": http://i.imgur.com/7URVqES.png The date of the tweet will probably need to be moved at bottom in exchange through (swapping). Even if not a requirement (as having enough width space, but…). And in bonus, about the "retweeted by XXX" line at top of tweet, I already said in an other report that it could also be just put below the tweet, as a simple line to save even more space (and also because on many Twitter clients and even on twitter.com website, it's there, so many users used to find this information there).
