Twitter.com is undergoing a major makeover. The user interface is being severely tweaked, and all users will have access to the new UI within the next few weeks.
This video gives a brief look at the new UI, but only after you’ve sat through some artistic crap designed to build on the brand.
The majority of people still access Twitter, both for reading tweets and tweeting themselves, via the website. So a new design and new features were well overdue.
The new Twitter looks fantastic; a vast improvement on the old one. The two-pane design changes the site from one that annoys and frustrates into one that should please most people.
I doubt we’ve seen the last of the fabled Fail Whale, but the new Twitter should make it appear on a rarer basis.
