Tour of the New Twitter

2011-12-08
hey what's up guys it's Marquez from the mkbhd Channel and today we're gonna be taking a look at the brand new Twitter design for a bunch of new platforms including desktop mobile Android and iPhone so also if you want to follow me on twitter i'm at mkbhd on twitter so that link is in the description below so that any further ado let's take a look we'll start with the desktop version courtesy of a video Twitter release today so start off with just a timeline as you can see here it looks pretty similar to the old Twitter with you know inline photos and videos and everything which is nice then it zooms out even more and it's looking a lot more like that new Facebook Timeline a two-column layout it's kind of an activity feed it's actually really nice looking it I don't know if you leave a comment what do you guys think of this but I think it looks really good you also have that composed window and some information about yourself about the top and then you have this brand new discover page and I think this is really the biggest change of the new Twitter it categorizes the people you tweet and lets you discover things based on hashtags and you can see it's really freaking cool there's a lot new more image content a whole bunch of videos built in it really looks nice and I think it's a bit more visually pleasing experience and I love this this right here the the view video button I really hope it keeps this way for all YouTube videos so when I tweet out my new videos you guys will be able to watch it right on Twitter of course you want to comment on it on YouTube but still I really like this button but anyway back up to the top there's a connect tab and this is basically the exact same thing as the activity tab I showed you before this guy's Mouse was really slow but yeah this is the same thing as the activity tab so without any further ado let's go ahead and take a look the other platforms so start off by taking a look at it on my G Motorola Droid just so you can be pretty sure that this app will work on just draw any other phone in existence but honestly this app looks a lot better than I thought it would I wasn't a big fan of the old version but you can see it's laid out nicely here and incorporates all the same features of the website except for brand pages which were also launched today but that's not a huge deal to me anyway but this does actually looks really good it's pretty elegant I'm really excited to use this on having my future Galaxy Nexus as I am with a lot of other things with a big screen and plenty of room to compose and do all sorts of things so Twitter looks really nice on mobile on the phone now they did make one mistake and they forgot to optimize a version again for honeycomb or tablet versions so there's still no Android tablet version as you can see it looks a little bit clunky here so we can stick with the phone version honestly it's not too bad I'm not gonna switch to it yet I still use another client called Tweaker which is pretty much the most badass thing out there it's really fast and really clean but complements the Twitter on the redesign of the new mobile Android app all the iPhone equivalents have you seen on the side look very similar to the Android app so there you go guys let me know what you guys think about this in the comments I know not all of you are on Twitter but I know those of you who are on Twitter who have been using it for a while will find that this is the first major update Twitter's rolled out in a long long long long time so let me know what you think and I'll talk to you guys in the next video thanks for watching peace
