Twitter Testing Profile Redesign, Focuses on Photos and Content Cards

Twitter is reportedly testing a major profile redesign that highlights photos and content cards on Tuesday.

The social networking site, in its continued effort to make its site more accessible to users, is making a comprehensive visual redesign of its profile page.

Mashable described the new interface of the microblogging service as very comparable to Google+ and Facebook profile page.

The uppermost part of the completely different Twitter profile page is dedicated to the header photo -- cover photo for Facebook. Below the header photo, users will find counts for their tweets, photos/videos, users who they are following, users following them, favorites, and lists.

The recommended header photo size is 1500 x 500 pixels, higher compared to the current maximum size allowed, which is 1252 x 626 pixels.

The user's display photo and bio occupy a narrow portion in the left side of the page. The display photo is placed alongside the counts and below it is the user's bio. The rest of the page is occupied by a freshly made-up tweet stream, which is not in a strict vertical scroll-down manner anymore.

The new tweet stream, which looks like a photo collage made up of unevenly-sized square images, brings to light tweets with photos and its content cards.

However, since Twitter is known to roll out new designs and improvements fraction by fraction before completely implementing a new design or feature, not everyone can see the redesigned profile page yet. But if your Twitter page is part of the test, you can see how other user profile pages will look like, even if they aren't included in the test.

Other technical details involved in the overhaul are yet to be known as the company declined to comment about this.
