Twitter launches home page with a new look
By ANIWednesday, July 29, 2009
LONDON - Popular microblogging website Twitter has launched a new home page. The Internet phenomenon, which boasts of an estimated 55 million visitors each month, made changes to the page, that now includes a search facility and lists the 23 most popular “trending topics” “by the minute, day, and week”.
“Today we’re trying a redesigned front page for folks who are new to Twitter.com. If you’re a regular around these parts, then you won’t notice the new look unless you sign out of your account,” The Telegraph quoted a statement on the Twitter blog as saying.
“Helping people access Twitter in more relevant and useful ways upon first introduction lowers the barrier to accessing the value Twitter has to offer and presents the service more consistently with how it has evolved.
“Twitter began as a rudimentary social tool based on the concept of status messages but together with those who use it every day, the service has taught us what it wants to be.
“From features invented by users to applications built on the platform, we’re still discovering potential,” it was added. (ANI)

I did notice the new home page when I logged out of my Twitter account. It definitely looks better! But of course, the ever famous Twitter bird is still there |
The Search function is a really nice addition, very useful.
