Those new Twitter profiles we told you about? The ones that bear a striking resemblance to another social network?
They’re here.
After months of testing and beta use by elite tweeters, the radical new look is now available to the masses. The changes include a larger font, bigger profile pictures and a wider cover image, as well as a new “pin” feature, enabling sticky tweets atop your page.
It’s opt-in for now, but the change will probably be imposed on everyone in the coming months. The new look is thought to be an effort to spike Twitter’s engagement level and reassure stockholders.
We’ll keep you updated on effects and reaction.
