Twitter’s new Facebook-like profile pages are now available to all users

Twitter launched a new and very Facebook-like look for profile pages earlier this month. Initially the design was rolled out to a limited number of users, but today Twitter has announced that it is now available for all users on the Web version.

The design includes a lot of new features — including highlighting popular tweets, pinned tweets, a larger background image, and a more prominent media gallery — but Twitter is letting you try them out before you commit to the change.

Alternatively you can leave your profile as it already is, but Twitter will make you change to the new version at a later date.
