Twitter Updates Site with Media and Social Networking Integration

Twitter just announced that they are going to update its site that will make the social networking giant more social and media friendly.

The twitter site update will be rolled out to consumers over the next month. This is the first ever major redesign for the four-year-old service.

The new twitter page will add a new spit screen with one side displaying tweets, and on the other, a detailed panel that will allow you to view videos, graphics, and more.

The update replaces the old single pane home page. The new two-pane twitter design eliminates the need of users to open a new tab/window to view media related to the tweet.

Twitter Release Notes:

The new Twitter.com is coming soon to all users! Twitter is the best way to discover what's new in your world. From football to film to philanthropy, people are using Twitter to discover what's new about what they find interesting.

Twitter has always been about getting a lot in a little. The constraint of 140 characters drives conciseness and lets you quickly discover and share what's happening. Yet, we've learned something since starting Twitter—life doesn't always fit into 140 characters or less.

Introducing a new, re-engineered Twitter.com that provides an easier, faster, and richer experience.

On the site, you'll see the familiar timeline, yet underneath each Tweet is a handful of information, deeper context and even embedded media. Simply click on an individual Tweet and a details pane slides out on the right and reveals this content.
