So far, I love the look and feel of the new site. I'm certainly not ready to give up Hootsuite yet, but I definitely feel better telling newbies to try and use the new site before running to a twitter desktop application.















The information displayed on your profile is pretty much the same as before, just moved around a bit with a bit more style. Your profile looks like this on the new Twitter:












My favorite part of the new Twitter is the "people you might want to follow" that pop up on my home screen. Twitter will tell me people that I might want to follow based on who is following me, who my followers follow and so on ... they also display "this person is also followed by" which is pretty cool. Just make sure you don't get hung up on only following the accounts that Twitter suggests. Branch out!

Let me know what YOU think of the new Twitter!

Basically, Google New gives you all of the latest Google news all the time. It's a plethora of Google-tasticness ... just a little snippet of what you can expect:
