All Twitter users now have new site layout, old layout being phased out

Today, social networking giant Twitter announced that all 160 million of its users now have access to the site's new interface; the company announced a site over-haul just four weeks ago. In an official blog post, Twitter writes: "You'll be able to switch between both the old and new versions of
Twitter for the next few weeks. After that, everyone will just use the new version." If you're a Twitter person — a Twerson if you will — let me know what you think of the #newTwitter.

The #NewTwitter was created with ease of use in mind, no more navigating away from your main timeline to view images or videos, or going from page to page to follow a conversation between Twitter users, everything are now displayed on one page with the use of nifty slide out panels.
