Twitter Redesign Finally Goes Live

Sep 19 2008 Comments

Back in July I was one of the first to break the news about a Twitter redesign that accidentally went live well before its time. FYI: TechCrunch copied and pasted practically my entire post about this. The redesign was available for all of about 3 minutes with only a handful of people able to grab a screenshot or two. Here’s a snapshot of what the redesign was like when it leaked:

Today, the site has went live with this redesign with only minor changes here and there. The tabs are still located on the side and your latest tweet is still located directly beneath the “What are you doing?” box. Followers, followings, and updates are located in the top right corner along with your avatar. The device updates options are now located beneath your friends. The last change is probably due to the fact that not many people are able to use device updates now that Twitter has restricted text messaging usage.

             

Prototype-ish

The site redesigns aren’t final as Twitter has noted that there will more changes and features in the feature. Let’s hope those changes come sooner rather than later. I’m happy to see Twitter making some improvements to their site. However, will it be enough to get me off of Twhirl?  Back in February, ReadWriteWeb noted that Twitter’s most popular publishing tool was the Twitter site itself. It’s not enough for an early adopter like myself to switch, but it may give help Twitter’s homepage traffic a nice boost.

  • great entry post with snapshot too.
  • I've been using Twitter for quite a long time already and the new design is much better now. About TechCrunch copying your entire post, that is just bad ethics; they could have came up with their own post and not copy someone else's.
  • Looks much better than that awful green color....lol But oh well I haven't used it for a while.
  • would you be interested in participating in DonorsChoose?

    Why am I not surprised that TechCrunch ripped off yet another article from someone else!?!?!?
  • There are too many of these social web sites, they need to come up with a application or web site that lets you sign up to all of them in one shot. When a new site starts it should automatically register you, this would be ideal for lazy people...oh I mean busy like myself.
