New Twitter

Twitter has  unveiled  a new version of its web interface. Some users have already started getting  the new format, though Twitter says on its blog that it “will roll out as a preview over the next several weeks.”. The new look seems to follow the two-column style of  its iPad app, it is essentially a version of the sleek new Twitter iPad app but optimized for the web, with the left side showing the stream and the right providing all the other content.

The noteworthy addition here is embedded content, which now opens  in the right column. The new experience comes across as  a full-featured desktop application minus the download, the right-hand navigation searches and unfriendly user profile searches.

Twitter has on board 16 partners for content including YouTube, Vimeo, Ustream,Flickr, Justin.TV among others. This new look definitely is going to give  dedicated Twitter clients (Tweetie, TweetDeck, and so forth) a run for their money unless they come up with features which are better than what the redesigned Twitter offers.
