Web and mobile Twitter inaugurates its new interface

More contacts, more discoveries ... and the birth of a true social media: this is the promise of the new Twitter, played since Thursday with a revised and updated interface as well as on the mobile Web.Twitter has taken on winter livery, with a new interface called Fly, available both on the Web (and mobile) as the mobile application dedicated iOS and Android. Purpose of the redesign? "We have simplified the design to make it easier than ever to follow what is important to you, connect with others and to discover new things," says the social network. In practice, Twitter opens for the first time a truly unified interface: be it the Web, via PC or mobile type applications or iOS and Android, the structure is similar.

The interface now revolves around three main areas: "Home", which presents the chronological flow of messages sent by his contacts, "Connect", which summarizes the interactions with other members and, most important new "Discover" , a section dedicated to the presentation of the hot topics of the moment. In the discourse of Twitter, we do not talk, however valid, but "stories" that are practical pieces of information, driven mainly by an external link to the site, the network invites to explore in consultation with all messages associated with them.
At first contact, the change is likely to be more sensitive to the new location contextual information, now to the left of the main flow. The latter proves to be rich: when tweet contains a picture, for example, it can be displayed directly, without having to open a new page. The opportunities for interaction (relay a message, reply etc..) Are always contextual, so as to encourage their use.

The deal is about the same mobile that you use a native application or the Web version, with some exceptions, due to the constraints of the mobile screen, but mostly, it seems clear that Twitter tried to offer the experience that is more homogeneous among the different terminals covered by its service. The network also wants more integrated, more "exciting" for the user, it is to keep as long as possible in the ecosystem created.

Twitter, which details these new ergonomic mini-site dedicated to the video below, stated that it had established a new framework (presumably unified the different versions of the service) to enable it to deploy other news in the coming weeks.
