Twitter is getting a major design and experience overhaul across its native and web apps. You can watch the promo above or check out more information about all the changes.
One thing I don’t know yet is whether Loren Brichter, the developer behind the original and groundbreaking Tweetie app that Twitter bought, had anything to do with this re-imagining of Twitter’s experience.
A really big change is an expansion of the “Activity” tab Twitter added to its web app a couple months back. For example, the @Mentions tab has become @Connect, and it can show more activity such as when others retweet or favorite your tweets, in addition to good ol’ mentions.
The new Discover tab integrates Twitter’s little-known Stories feature, makes it easier to find interesting users and hashtags, and gives you a unified search box for manually entering usernames or hashtags to learn more about them.
Overall I really like it, and it should go a long way to helping new users understand how Twitter works and find relevant users and topics to follow.
