Twitter Interface - Rebound this!

After needing to use Twitter.com today instead of my twitter client, I realized that I really dislike the fact that you need to click "ME" in order to even see that you have messages and then click the messages button. You also aren't notified when your notifications come in. So I added:

1. Icon Bar (Tweet, Notifications, My Profile, Settings)
2. Message notification icon/circle for your messages
2. Replies, Mentions, RT's, etc. notification glow

Thoughts? Who prefers this over the current layout on Twitter.com
