Today Twitter released a major update to its user interface across multiple platforms including its webpage, TweetDeck, iPhone, and Android formats.
This marks one of the biggest changes to the look and feel of Twitter since its inception. The new UI is more elegant while it may confuse people at first (your Twitter feed is now on the right side of the window!). Now when you click or tap on pictures and videos people Tweet they open right in the feed instead of leading you outside the app or website to a pop up window.
Other new features are the “Connect” and “Discover” tabs geared to help you become more immersed in the twittersphere. The connect tab shows you a feed of people who follow you, have tweeted you, have re-tweeted you, and mentioned you. There is also a generated list of people they recommend you follow based on who you follow, and your past tweets and interests. Similarly the “Discover” tab brings you personalized tweets and topics marked with #hashtags related to your interests based on the #hashtags you use, your location, and who you follow.
So far i have used the new iPhone version, Tweetdeck, and the web-page. I will say there are great improvements to the UI and functionality of all the above; however, my one complaint is with the web-page’s window size. Unless you maximize the window to be full-screen your Twitter feed overlaps with your profile information and the “whats trending feed.” Hopefully this is just a small error that will be fixed soon. Otherwise I like the update. What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments section below!
