Twitter launches its new desktop version
Twitter yesterday unveiled the new design of its desktop version, with a more airy aesthetic and new personalization features. Made available to certain users for a few weeks, this overhaul has now started to be deployed and should be generalized over the next few days. “We’ve been doing a lot of testing over the past several months, analyzing the hundreds of thousands of user feedback to design what we see as a version that will put more value on tweets from around the world,” said Patrick Traughber, product strategy manager at Twitter at LCI.

Twitter for desktop redesign allows for more personalization
Twitter seems to have taken inspiration from its mobile apps for the redesign of its desktop, including the ability to rank the latest tweets in chronological order rather than popularity. Another major innovation is multi-account management, which now offers the possibility of switching easily from one account to another, within the limits of five accounts open simultaneously. An option available for a while on the mobile version, which has thus arrived on the computer.
