Twitter's New Profiles: Everything You Need to Know

http://dtg.fm/i83U

The rumors and feature teases are true: New Twitter profiles are here, with a brand-new, yet oddly familiar, look. The new design is rolling out slowly, unless you're a celebrity or a new user. And it may represent a real turning point.

Like many people who live on Twitter, I don't look at my own profile page very often. I spend most of my time on the Twitter.com homepage to see tweets from all the accounts I follow, and my Notifications page to track replies and mentions of my handle. I last managed my Twitter profile ages ago.

However, I look at other users' profile pages fairly often. It's where I learn about who they are through their profile picture and their brief description of themselves, which may include details like job, location and a link for more information. In other words, profile pages are important, especially for brands, celebrities and new users.

To understand how these new profiles are built and what they mean for your Twitter experience, we created a new Twitter account. This is your walk-through.
