Twitter’s new homepage as of July 28, 2009
Twitter has updated their homepage and made their search feature much more accessible and useable. Gone is the cartoonish “What are you doing?” days.
Everyone knows how to use search and is familiar with searching, but still most people don’t know much about twitter (the few million people that use Twitter regularly represent a tiny fraction of the planet, geographically and demographically.) Putting the search feature at center stage helps make new user’s feel more at home and helps the page look less “foreign” to them.
Twitter Co-founder, Biz Stone, said in a blog post about the new look: "The open and timely exchange of information will have a positive impact on the world and Twitter has a role to play."
We're a bunch of tweeps who love twitter (just like you), and we're working hard to build the best Twitter experience for you.
