New Delhi: Twitter has started rolling out its redesigned profile page to all users around the world. If you have still not got it and can't wait more, go here and click on the "Get it now" button.
The new design, while mostly cosmetic, hints at what CEO Costolo described in February as a willingness to experiment with new ways to organise content. Users can now "pin" a tweet to stay at the top of their feed, a rare instance of Twitter departing from the continuously rolling format that has defined the service.
The profile picture and bio have been shifted to the left with a Facebook-like cover photo on the top of the page. There is a horizontal section just below the header photo that shows your follower counts and tweet counts.
Tweets that have received more retweets or replies will also appear slightly larger to spur more user engagement.
Twitter says users will also be allowed to select a large banner picture to display across the top of their profile page, as well as a much larger profile picture, two features that resemble another social network familiar to most of the world's Internet users: Facebook.
In recent weeks, Twitter has also reportedly been testing a number of new advertising units, such as ads that include download links for mobile apps.
