Social Media News - Twitter Unveils New Page Design
Twitter continues its redesign
Big news this week in the social media world as Twitter rolls out its new profile page designs. Twitter are marketing the changes as “a whole new you” suggesting that this change will transform your whole life. The update will include new profile pages, and other new features to individual profiles. The company declares that the transformation will make self-expression on social network “even easier” and “more fun.” |

The cosmetic aspect of the update gives Twitter a much larger profile picture, and a customised header image, just like Facebook. They say that the new profile will highlight specific tweets and also it will allow people searching through profiles to find the specific kind of tweets they want to. This means that users will be able to choose just tweets with just photos attached, or videos, or just replies to previous tweets.
Users will be able to pin favourite tweets to the top of his or her profile page, whilst tweets with the most retweets or replies will appear larger in size to emphasise their impact on the person’s profile. This gives the page a more personal feel, and also gives the user more freedom and flexibility when using the popular social media site.

At present, the new design is only available to a few members as well as those new to Twitter. The company have said that all new changes will be available for everyone in the coming weeks. Among the first to use the new profiles are first lady Michelle Obama, boxer Floyd Mayweather, actress Kerry Washington, and also the band Weezer.
The change signifies a change of emphasis for Twitter as they try and keep up with Facebook in the fight for social media supremacy. The page layout is obviously a nod towards Facebook’s popular platform, and although many will like the new changes, also there will no doubt be criticism aimed at Twitter in abandoning their traditional, popular layout.
