Twitter’s New Design Borrows Some of Facebook’s Old Style

Twitter unveiled its most recent redesign changes on Tuesday, fancying up the website’s profile pages in another nod to customization. The changes are largely cosmetic, focusing on image sizing, but the introduction of “pinned tweets” does mark a visual shift toward the Facebook profiles of old. They include a larger profile picture and a wider cover photo, as well as new sub-sections for “Tweets” and “Photos/Videos.” Several prominent Twitter users (read: celebrities) have had these abilities for some time, including actress Kerry Washington. The coupling of those larger images with a left-column profile picture has several tech sites likening the layout to the modern Facebook profile. Indeed, the larger images reflect Twitter’s intent to become a bigger player in the photo sharing space.
