It won’t be long until Twitter launches a new design, givingusers more multimedia options.

The mostobvious change will be the addition of embedded video and images.

Previously,you could click on a link or image and a new tab/page would open on the browserbefore you could view it. A lot of Twitter applications, such as Tweetdeck, hadused this simple design to their advantage – allowing users to see an image ora video via the application without leaving it.

Twitter recentlyimplemented advertising opportunities via promoted trends, and it is no wonderthat it wants more users using Twitter.com rather than external applications.

Thegreat thing about the new offering is that it will let users add teaser videosand turn pages into news sites. Although the downside is that the internet willbe bombarded with videos of puppies or nakedness, which could make computersslower and could, potentially bring in viruses.

The othernew feature of Twitter is the best one, in my humble opinion, you may have aboatload of people you follow but you cannot remember why, well Twitter willlet you see the author and their feed in seconds on the side panel. There is alsothe addition of location of that person and relevant @replies.

Basically,if you use Twitter for work then you can see how useful a person is.... gee I hope I don’t get a drop in followers ;)
