Social Media Tips & Tricks: Update Your Twitter Profile

 

It’s been a little bit over a month since Twitter announced a new format for profiles — and in case you missed it, or just haven’t gotten around to it yet, here’s a quick look at what’s new on the popular social media site.

New look: Instead of the tiny photos at the top-right of your page, the header image appears as a huge banner, with the profile image positioned on the right side of the page. The “Edit Profile” button shows up on the left-hand side.

Here’s what the change looked like on the Warwick Post Twitter feed:

Before:

After:

Larger text for popular Tweets: The new set-up includes a “Best Tweets” feature that enlarges the text for Tweets that get a lot of clicks and re-tweets.

Place to pin Tweets: Another new option is pinning Tweets to the top of the profile page, mainly as another way to personalize the page.

Choice of threads: When you’re reading other peoples’ Tweets, now you have the option of filtering according to whether the Tweet has a photo or video, or whether there have been replies to the original message.
