Twitter has changed main page. Propably you know about it, right? In my opinion: still not perfect, but much better than it was earlier. New design, new informations, new links, huge search box… these are the most important changes.
About new twitter‘s layout we can hear from almost everybody (New Twitter Homepage Goes Live With Search Front And Center on TechCrunch, Twitter Debuts New Homepage and The Goal of Twitter’s New Homepage? Be the World’s Water Cooler on Mashable, Twitter Redesigns As Streaming Trends Site on ReadWriteWeb). Now, you can hear about it from me, too.
Why is that? Why I want to write about it, although everybody else wrote about it earlier? My reason is really simple: this change is important. Twitter became one of the most important social media site in the Internet and it’s worth to notice all kind of bigger changes in it.
First… have a look at the old version of twitter’s homepage…
… and now, have a look at the new version of this website…
First impression: much better!
and now…
one more thing…
what’s the most important? now it’s much better than it was few days ago!
