Twitter<\/strong> users will soon see their timeline looking pretty different. After a short test period<\/a>, a decision has been taken to switch it on for everyone. Not all users will see changes immediately, but within a few short weeks, most will.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

So what’s changed?<\/strong> Well, a central header image, for a start, accompanied by a smaller profile picture on the left. Mentions and tweets run down the center, meaning that the whole image can’t help but remind us of Facebook<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

If you’re not already on the social network, it’s a good time to sign up, not least because all new users will have the new profile by default<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once the new look has been rolled out to the web version of the micro-blogging service, we can expect to see it in upcoming mobile versions<\/strong> too. Unfortunately, we’ve got no official word on when that might be.<\/p>\n

Reasons behind the changes are probably twofold. Firstly, they’re a response to user requirements, and secondly, an attempt to make the platform more profitable. Twitter’s creators are still desperately hoping to find a way of cashing in on their very specific product. So far, they’ve failed, and it remains to be seen if this visual shake-up will prove to be the lifeline they’re looking for.<\/p>\n
