Twitter has rolled out a redesign of its official blog, which is quite a departure from the previous look, with the new design perhaps more befitting of the social micro-blogging network.
Or maybe it looks more like the default writing theme that comes with (or is easily downloadable for) many blogging platforms? You be the judge.
We're kicking off our upcoming June Social Media Marketing Boot Camp session with a special keynote presentation by Ella Chick (left), the digital producer at Anderson Cooper 360°. She'll discuss how the network uses social media for breaking news and leverages social media to draw attention to organizations and causes. Learn more about our program and register here.
You may have noticed older tweets coming up in search since Twitter’s update last month and thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice to see top tweets that were most relevant to my search popping up first?”
Well, as Twitter is the nicest virtual place on Earth (yes, just like Disney World), they’ve updated their app with this ability – and a few more.
Twitter underwent a redesign in December of 2011, bringing (among other things), the Discover tab.
And today it updated this tab to bring more real-time results your way.
Twitter has released new versions of its popular iPhone and Android apps, which include several major updates, including expandable tweets, Twitter events, the new Twitter search and, for the first time, push notifications.
Over on the official blog, Twitter has announced some changes to the way that content will be displayed within certain tweets when they are expanded.
These larger tweets are rolling out as we speak, but, once implemented, submissions from a “diverse and growing group” of media partners” will be larger and display richer content, including snippets from articles, publisher information and more.
Twitter has released version 3.0 of their official Blackberry app, which they promise offers an even greater social experience through deep integration with BBM (Blackberry Messenger). Now, as a BBM-connected application, you can share your latest tweet as a BBM personal message.
Twitter’s new-look brand profile pages, which the company announced back in December with select partners, has began a larger rollout, with several major brands now sporting the redesign on their Twitter profiles.
Twitter brand pages include a customizable header image, pinnable tweets and other features… but it comes at a hefty price.
During a press conference at their new San Francisco HQ, Twitter has unveiled a brand new design for Twitter.com (and also the iPhone and Android apps) – Lauren has already covered this in detail here. It’s a HUGE update, at least aesthetically, but also has some new features which are worth checking out.
Twitter has put together this video showing how the new design will look and work – which is great if you don’t yet have access to the Twitter.com revamp.
As the growth of social media continues to expand, so do the number of social platforms available for us all to use.
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare and still wet-behind-the-ears Google+ each offer unique features and opportunities for brands and users alike, and it’s becoming increasingly troublesome to decide on the best place to post that all-important status update.
After all, there’s so much to consider. Is it business or personal? Where are you posting the status from? Would it be awkward to explain to your boss, or parents? Are Likes all that matter to you? And finally, and perhaps most importantly, do you actually want anyone to see it?
A little over a month ago I wrote about how Twitter was making some pretty major changes to Twitter.com, which included the removal of the @Mentions and Retweets folders and the implementation of new username and activity tabs, and that these would be ‘rolling out’ to all users in due course.
Twitter made this announcement on August 10. It’s getting on for five weeks later, and I’m still seeing the same old Twitter.
