Twitter Gets A Makeover

By Ruben Lone

Twitter is beginning to unveil a new redesign of user profiles. Much more similar to the profile pages of Facebook and Google+, the new design will include a large header image of the user’s choosing, as well as a left-oriented avatar image and information.

“Best Tweets,” which include your most relevant posts, will appear larger on your timeline, and you’ll have the option of pinning Tweets to the top. Users can filter others’ timelines to see Tweets with pictures, links, and replies.

Below are examples of some of the first redesigned profiles, featuring John Legend and Weezer. The redesign will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.
