Twitter new design features

By: Salma Tantawi

Social media users might not like it when one or more social networks suddenly decide to overhaul their user interface. True, we probably spend more time with these networks than we do with our real friends and we’d like for things to stay the same for once. Yet we all know we’d forget about the old design minutes after discovering the new features we have now.

Twitter is rolling out a new profile page that does look a lot like Facebook; a big, wide cover photo, a bigger profile picture and a one column updates displaying photos and videos you share with your followers. However, this new design offers some advantages to its users.

Best tweets: Now your tweets that have been received well by your followers, whether it is by retweets or favorites, will appear bigger and more noticeable on your timeline.

Pinned Tweets: You can now pin your best tweet to stay on top of your timeline and be the first thing that greets users into your profile.

Filtering tweets: much like verified profiles, you now have the choice to view all of your tweets including replies, or just view your original tweets and filter out the @replies.
