You will now find @mentions, retweets, searches, and lists just above your timeline – creating a single, streamlined view on the left of the screen. On the right, you can see the features you’re familiar with, including whom you recently followed and who recently followed you, favorites, and Trending Topics.
View photos, videos, and other media content
Now, it’s easy to see embedded photos and videos directly on Twitter, thanks to partnerships with DailyBooth, DeviantART, Etsy, Flickr, Justin.TV, Kickstarter, Kiva, Photozou, Plixi, Twitgoo, TwitPic, TwitVid, USTREAM, Vimeo, yfrog, and YouTube.

Mini profiles
You can click a @username to see a mini profile without navigating from the page, which provides quick access to account information, including bio and recent Tweets.
Rollout timing
These changes will roll out as a preview over the next several weeks. During the preview, you'll be able to switch back and forth so you have time to grow accustomed to the way things work. Eventually, everyone will have the updated version of Twitter.com.

1. Define your targeted audience and do some research on them. Find out who are the most influential twitter users among your targeted audience, have a look on what they tweet about and why do people follow them.
2. Use twitter search to find conversations about your niche, services or products. Don’t just search one hashtag and think you’re done. Be creative, try to find any natural order of words that would be used in discussions about your services, products or your general niche.
3. Engage your targeted audience into conversations. This is what social media is all about, conversations. If you manage to give quality info and answer questions about services or products that you also offer, your reputation will grow with time and so will your follower base.
4. Don’t spamm, mass follow, and don’t try to sell your products / services all the time. People don’t like to be sold to. If someone is asking to be recommended a service provider, offer your services, however, don’t just send out spamm to anyone that fits the profile of your targeted audience.
5. Follow the most influential twitter users in your targeted niche and pay extra attention to them.Try to engage them into communication as much as possible. If they communicate with you a lot, you will eventually get lots of followers from them.
6. Use the hashtags in your tweets. It will make your tweets more visible in twitter search and you might get some nice quality targeted followers this way. Once again, don’t abuse these tags, only use them when it’s obvious they fit the context of your tweet.
7. Be active in twitter’s social events such as #FollowFriday. You have to give in order to receive. Hashtag users you find interesting or influential with #FollowFriday tag every Friday and you might be lucky to receive some reciprocal Friday love. This is one of the best ways to get quality and relevant followers on your Twitter account.
8. Join in twitter directories under appropriate category (hashtag). One of the best known twitter directories is WeFollow.

by.By Emma Barnett (@emmabarnett), Technology and Digital Media Correspondent from: http://www.telegraph.co.uk
Last week, while I was in San Francisco for the Web 2.0 Expo, I spent a couple of hours at Twitter’s HQ with Twitter’s co-founder Biz Stone (@biz), chief executive Evan Williams (@ev) and chief operating officer Dick Costolo (@dickc).
Here are 10 fun pieces of Twitter trivia I discovered on my travels:
1. Twitter has its own DJ booth
Located in the centre of the office’s "breakout" space, it’s the place where celebrities come and "guest mix". The latest starlet was no other than Conan O’Brien, a US TV host and comedian, who then joined the host of other DJs and signed a cartoon version on himself on the Twitter wall of fame.
2. Tea time with Twitter
DJing usually goes on during the company’s weekly "tea time" session on Friday afternoons. It may sound very English and proper– but tea has long been replaced with beer to the soundtrack of someone jamming.
3. Twitter’s office was once home to Bebo
Michael Birch, the British-born entrepreneur who co-founded Bebo with his wife Xochi, was once based in Twitter's offices. Birch, who is now working on a host of new web start-ups in a building just down the road, proudly informed me that the Twitter DJ booth was indeed his creation. However, in his new office space, he’s opting for a more relaxing option this time round: a massage room.
4. Twitter has its own cushion range
Adorning the sofas around the office are sweet little cushions emblazoned with the stitched words: "Home Tweet Home". It gives the office of one of the hottest technology companies in the world rather a soft and country-bumpkin feel.
5. US model Tyra Banks plus two spray-painted deer give a good welcome
Twitter’s reception area is pretty sparse on ornaments, bar two brightly painted models of deer and a handful of web awards. However, nestled in the middle of their trophy shelf is a slightly incongruous photograph of Williams and Stone flanking none other than American-model-turned-TV-personality Tyra Banks. Perhaps Williams is hankering after a spot on her chat show after his time on the Oprah sofa last April.
6. Dick Costolo used to be a professional comedian
The man now tasked with monetising the microblogging phenomenon used to take improvisation comedy shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and have a TV slot on Paramount. This was long before he became a serial web entrepreneur, founder of Feedburner and an ex-Googler. Quite a CV ...
7. Birds rule the roost
Every meeting room at Twitter HQ is named after a different type of bird. I conducted my meetings in both @plover and @starling. The theme is taken one step further with the coat hooks in each room designed to resemble branches, with the company’s bird logo stencilled in black on to each office door. Twitter’s office designers were obviously trying to give twee its edge back. The result is rather cheery.
8. Employee number 140 earns the royal treatment
The company has more than doubled the number of staff in the last six months, with 175 people now working full time at Twitter HQ. However, employee 140, who is known simply as "140", earned himself a party when he joined. That status probably lost its uniqueness a little when Williams hired the 141st member of staff.
9. Evan: “Tweet more interesting stuff, Biz”
Stone admitted that, back in the early days of Twitter, when he would just tweet mundane details about his life (like: “Just getting up”), Williams would tell him to be more interesting in his 140-character messages.
10. AT&T mobile reception is poor … and yet they’re in the same building …
Twitter shares the same building as AT&T, the US telecommunication company and yet, while I was there, I could barely get one bar of AT&T mobile signal on my iPhone. The man on the general reception corroborated my story. Perhaps a word is in order.
some of my friends found it hard to change their Twitter Background, and some of them changed the background but it looks very bad and not good with layout , so here is a list of some FREE sites to change the background and the layout for you :

How people are using Twitter
Our Twitter for iPhone and Twitter for BlackBerry clients are now two of the most popular ways to use Twitter. This may not be surprising. What may be more surprising are the other top ways people use the service. The following chart shows the top ten applications people have used to access Twitter in the last 30 days. This is based on number of unique users. That is, out of all the people who logged into their Twitter account during the month, what percentage did so via each service. (The total is more than 100% because people often use more than one app.)
