Twitter is soon to release a new design for your Twitter profile page. The new design is quite a bit busier than the traditional layout with a few new key features that are designed to allow you more control over what the prominent aspects of your page are.
- Focus on Engagement: The more engagement that a Tweet has received (retweets, favorites) the larger it will appear on the page.
- Pinned Tweets: Similar to Facebook you’ll have the ability to select a Tweet to pin to the top of your Tweet list so that visitors to your page are more likely to see the Tweet.
- Filtering: When viewing a profile you’ll be able to select the type of Tweets that you want to view, whether Tweets, Tweets with photos/videos, or Tweets and replies.
See examples of Pinned Tweets and the larger emphasis on Tweets with high engagement on Broke Ass Stuart’s Twitter page below:
The new design also offers more customization options for creating a unique profile page for your Twitter account. Is this a technique to try to get more users on the Twitter site rather than viewing Tweets through third-party apps?
