Big changes for Twitter

My favorite birdie is growing up.  That’s right, Twitter announced yesterday that they would be implementing significant changes to the social media tool that will become visible in the coming weeks.

Twitter showcases the new layout and added features in a video on YouTube called “Yours To Discover” which I’ve posted below to show some of the enhancements.  These enhancements are already available on iPhone and Android mobile apps.  For neanderthals like your’s truly, I’ll have to wait before an app becomes available for the Blackberry.  (Do people still make apps for the Blackberry?)

The redesign appears to keep a simple, clean look and revolves around the four icons above:  home, connect, discover and profile. I’m curious to see how / if these changes to the platform impact sites like osfoora, hootsuite, tweetdeck and others.  I’ve made no secret that I’m a twitter-holic and look forward to the enhancements which I hope will make the tool even faster and easier to use.

  1. I despise the new Twitter & stay away from it as much as possible. It’s clumsy, slow, hard to understand, uninviting…a total mess!
