The new Twitter will start rolling out to a small percentage of users currently. Then it will be rolled out incrementally on a global basis over the next weeks.
“It makes it such a richer and faster experience,” Williams said at a press conference to announce the new site.
Williams also said he hopes the redesign will help to better monetize the service. Below some of the features of the new Twitter is mentioned.

I am a poweruser of twitter i hope i like to use it more after this. Thanks for sharing 😀
I have got this new twitter and I gotta say that this twitter rocks…
since i dont use the twitter site much i dont find any difference … as all i access is via twitter client
The New Twitter is really really fast than the older version. Also all the functions we can perform in single page itself..
The new Twitter is great. Now there is no need to open separate tabs for watching videos or seeing images, this will surely save time.
This are great features on twitter
Yes Twitter has integrated lots of features, twitter own share button is also great.
Who else besides me can’t see the New twitter? I would like to try the new features but mine hasn’t changed yet.
i have not seen any changes to the twitter yet.. and i have a good feeling about it, after all twitter was all about the simplicity, i guess putting up too many features and stuff won’t make it all that simple anymore…
This a great new features.
Really exciting.
Great much needed features.
More importantly it would be good if twitter has lesser down times.
at the moemnt using blu for win 7 , will be installing tweet deck and cotweet , as suggested by friends , any suggestion from you guys
i just wrote about top twitter clients for ipod iphone recently. few of which im using myself , like tweetdeck
it came up in the newpaper today , this change is done after 4 yrs of twitter
It took me a while to get used to the new Twitter but I definatley think its changed for the better! Its good that they left it four years before changing things too as opposed to Facebook who seem to be changing things every four months!
i never used twitter , though i got hundreds of followers [for one link i left somewhere in my post]. Never made a tweet for the last 2-3 months . I am now installing some twitter clients to use twitter effectively ….
Twitter is just awesome…..
looking forward to it…..
That’s great to hear.. waiting for the change 🙂
I especially like the mini profiles that can be optimized and tell more about the user than those 100 character bios.
I cant wait to get my hands on with the new Twitter 🙂
quite a few good additions ..
This means there are lotta things twitter has in store for us it seems :):)
