And with yet another version of the service being released, Twitter’s director of platform said at the Le Web conference today that the service’s redesign is part of a simplifying project to enhance the connectivity and content-sharing and ultimately engage new users.
“Engagement is getting someone to sign up, to create a timeline that shows people they follow[.] Eventually they start to retweet, to favorite, and then they start tweeting,” said the company’s director of platform, Ryan Sarver.
Like Facebook’s recent timeline switchover, Twitter has undergone a whole new interface in not only the site itself, but their mobile apps are considerably different with a new format consisting of 4 labels: Home, Connect, Discover, and Me—linking you to new content that was less-discoverable than before.
If you really want to enhance your tweet experience, a new version of TweetDeck is now available so you can tweet right from your desktop or Chrome homepage—making it easy to manage multiple Twitter accounts without having to login separately.
Even if you feel behind the Twitter times, the site is (still) growing fast. 100 million people tweet actively every day, making for the “fire hose” of 250 million tweets every 24 hours—10,416,666 tweets per minute.
