Twitter just rolled out a number of new features on Twitter.com. Many users have noticed the changes which seem to have hit within the last few minutes.
In a tweet just now, Sean Garrett of Twitter called these new features “social context features”, and said that the “included in list” thingie. The Zelig-like feature is not ready for primetime”
The ones that we have noticed so far include [Updated, see comments]:
- A new feature that recommends other people when you follow them.
- A “You and USERX both follow” screen
- A mobile icon that allows you to receive SMS tweets from that user.
- A “You follow these followers of USERX” screen
Here’s some screenshots:
The #1 & #4 are there for long. Noticed #2
Also the “Who to follow” has been replaced by the Twitter ad.
I think you’ve always been able to block ReTweets.
It’s the green button that is seemingly new – at least for some users – I certainly didn’t have it until today- under a new “Settings” column on the Followers
and another in the sidebar: “You both follow” – facebook style
Damn! The Who to follow recommendations have returned. I spoke too soon. How disappointing.
A lot of these features have been in place for awhile. They are great additions though!
I think they might have been in place for certain users, but lots of them just showed up for others
As per comments, we’ve taken down a couple of the features as new, but I know at least on my account that they just showed up today, so perhaps Twitter has rolled them out to everyone now. We’d ask Twitter for comment, but they don’t provide “user data”. Thanks for the help everyone, hopefully Twitter will put out a blog post and spell out all of the exact features that they released or spread to all user today.
over-designed …. like that really cool-looking potato peeler that doesn’t peel as good as grandma’s
Well, actually, this is not that needed but it adds on the excitement in some other way. I think Twitter should think of some other ideas that will spice up the everyday twitting of every Twitheads out there. The SMS feature is really cool though.
i rather look at drunk girls than twitter..IMO

Interesting. I wonder how much this will actually increase follow rates.
