Good points. The order is not random - it's the same each time - just
baffling and useless.

Perhaps we are meant to delete read messages?  A useful 3rd party app
might archive and delete them, leaving only new messages on Twitter
and helping to resolve the rogue app reading dms issue.

 The #newtwitter direct message UI sucks.

 - There's no indication on the main UI that you have an unread
 message.  If you miss the email notification you will never notice the
 message.

 - On the DM page, there's no indication of which conversations have
 unread messages, or even the most recent messages.  The conversations
 are presented in random order.

 - When a conversation is displayed, again there is no indication of
 which messages are unread or which is the most recent.  Again they are
 displayed in random order.

 So.  Are there plans to improve it?  Has anyone written their own
 improved version?  Anyone want to collaborate on writing one?

Oh great. I just got my first email spam purporting to be a Twitter DM
notification.
