Twitter, the king of 140 character microblogging has redesigned itself to make navigation both faster and more efficient.    New feature tabs on the top of the page enables users to go to their home pages, find new content or connect with other microbloggers more quickly.   User profiles have also undergone a redesign as well. The fully featured site is planned for general availability in the next few weeks.  “As other services tack feature after feature after feature on top of each other, we’re going to go in an entirely different direction and offer simplicity in a world of complexity,” Chief Executive Officer Dick Costolo stated. “This new Twitter is really a foundation for us.”

The Twitter Timeline feature improves performance 5X compared with performance just a few months ago.  Timeline scrolls messages beginning with the most recent at the top of the page.    The once elusive revenue challenge is beginning to turnaround for the company as it racks up $139.5 million for ads in 2011 according to EMarketer.   It forecasts $259.9 million in ad revenue in 2012, which represents an 86% growth rate.   Twitter continues to improve its services to attract more users and in turn pump up its ad revenue stream.

Twitter is figuring it out.
It seems that Twitter is figuring out that a better site means more users and more users means more ad revenue. Hey it worked for Google. It is nice to see the little guys making the right moves.
