It’s typical whenever Twitter changes things that people complain; hovercards are well-liked by many

I love the hovercards… they’re not annoying in my opinion. ♥

So many people don’t like hovercards? I love them LoL!
I don’t think they are in my way at all. Sometimes i find out that I didn’t follow someone =D

So glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand the hovercards! They block my reading of my tweets and there’s no good way to get rid of them. I don’t think I’ve ever once actually found them useful. They should be optional (as was mentioned, maybe right-clicking to make them appear would work — that way, they’d only show up when the user actually wants them). And there ABSOLUTELY needs to be an easy, clear-cut way to close them!

On the contrary, I love hover cards! Makes it easier for me to follow tweeps and also to check if am following someone or not. Maybe twitter can provide a preference option to switch it off though.

‘doesn’t affect my usage that much.’

I don’t want my Twitter usage to be affected at all. The Twitter page has become so cluttered with unnecessary additions. Twitter used to be fast and breezy – now it’s slow and clunky.

I want it ALL~!! I would like to keep them with the option to uncheck a box in settings that would deactivate the hovercard temporarily. They are super handy for the follow/unfollow/view profile/DM, but they get in the way for copy/paste.

If I HAD to choose keep or not, I would choose keep. I really believe it can be an optional check box.

I don’t mind them. I don’t understand why people are saying they last for ages… mine disappear a second or two after I roll off them, doesn’t affect my usage that much.
