I love it. I only hate the fact I'm so new at Twitter that I don't know where to look for the things he's explaining because my Twitter doesn't look like his. I don't know if I could customize it to have the same look or Twitter changed the way it looks since the video was recorded. So, when he is explaining "on the left you can see this and down there's that", it's not and I get frustrated searching for it.
