Nate Eagle on the PBS Design blog:
There’s nothing terribly difficult about hitting cmd+click for me: I’ve got two able arms with able fingers attached to the hands that join them, but Twitter’s completely right that I always want its links to open in new windows and that I appreciate not having to think about it. Twitter’s my base, man: I want to have my place saved while your picture of your adorable bull-dog loads in another window.
The answer? Inconclusive, but I can identify with Nate’s indecision.
