Twitter is set to roll out a refreshed design for its timeline display on March 03,2016
And the new design, as the company explains, will enable users to start embedding profiles, lists, and collections.
"Starting March 3, we're upgrading the embedded timeline, which showcases Twitter stories to more than 1 billion unique visitors across the web every month," said the company in a blog post.
According to Twitter, this update is more than just a facelift.
"Over the last few months you've told us about the kinds of stories you want to tell, and we've incorporated your feedback directly into the timeline display. As a result, the new timeline has a clean, modern design that blends seamlessly into any page on your site. It’s fully responsive, too, so it looks great at any size. And we think it will delight your users with expanded photos, videos, polls, and cards," said Twitter.
Twitter has also removed the "hide media" option which will enable tweets with media to be expanded by default.
The embedded timelines also have in-line sharing on every tweet to facilitate easy retweeting.
All existing timelines will also be upgraded automatically but will maintain the current sizing and customisation preferences.
Publishers "need a powerful visual storytelling tool to truly engage your users, so we’ve built an embedded grid which displays your curated content in a rich, responsive, media-forward format,” Twitter wrote in an earlier blog post.
The move gives publishers and developers more control in how tweets around specific conversations can be featured
