Responsive Tab style menu UI

Look at the twitter screen above. Do you think new users understand what they're supposed to do?

Obviously they should start tweeting. However, the "Compose new tweet" button in the top right corner isn't very clear(see law of clarity) and the input box on the left sidebar pretty much blends with the environment. From a design standpoint, it seems like twitter want users to either search for something or use one of the opetions from the left hand navigation menu, as those interface elements are most prominent.
