It's everyone's favourite micro-blogging site and continues to attract hundreds of followers by the day. In order to be more user-friendly, Twitter has unveiled a redesign of its website. So what's new, you ask? The biggest change comes in the form of a layout change: the site will now feature two panels. The left-side panel will host the traditional stream of tweets and the right-side panel will display videos, images, maps, and 'related content' from tweets that are clicked in the left-side panel. And yes, if you want more, you will not have to click on the 'more' button. The new design allows for infinite scrolling. The preview roll-out will take place over the next few weeks.
