I'm guessing this feature is exciting to a lot of people. But I don't like that it appears as a pop-up as soon as you log in. I think my problem may be that I don't like pop-ups period.

I got the popup only 1 time when i logged in for the first time. Twitter was just letting there user's know of a new feature with that popup.

Really? I'm pretty sure I got it more than once...plus it just wasn't closing for some odd reason - maybe it was a glitch...don't get it anymore
