New Twitter profiles now available for everyone

Twitter‘s new look web profile page is now available for anyone who wants it. The radical new design had been rolled out to some users as a test in the last few weeks.

Twitter has not said when, or if the new design will be mandatory, but until then it’s now easy to activate. Simply visit Twitter here, and follow on screen instructions.

The new profile is closer to the Facebook Timeline than the old Twitter profiles, but your Twitter feed is unaffected. The new profile is bolder and better looking. You can pin a tweet to the top, so you can control what people see the first time they visit your profile, and the header image is much bigger. The new profile also allows people to easily filter your feed for photos and videos, and see your favorites and so on.

While this redesign is a big change, web profiles are perhaps not the most popular place to check out other users. While your new header image, if you choose one, will be visible across Twitter on all devices, the pinned tweet will not. Twitter has not said if it plans to bring pinned tweets to its iOS, Android or other mobile apps.
