Twitter Announces New Website Interface with photos, video

Evan Williams announced a fresh redesign to the biggest Twitter client, Twitter.com. The design draws on many of the innovations first seen in the official iPad app, and you'll see a new multi-pane view that lets you easily click between tweets, profiles, hash tags and other Twitter features.

Clicking on a tweet that contains a picture link will load the picture inline within the Twitter experience, saving you from having to jump to an additional page. Similarly, clicking tweets with video and people will load playable video and profile panes, respectively. You'll also see that much of the navigation (searches, lists, @replies) has been moved to the top of the site. 

Again you'll be able to scroll endlessly through tweets and dig down into conversations, and Twitter is also adding keyboard shortcuts to help you move around within the site. Video services like YouTube, Vimeo and Ustream will be supported, and Williams announced that all major Twitter picture hosting services are supported. A small group of users will be able to access the new design, and the site will launch worldwide soon.
