We all know that social media is constantly evolving. New features, updated apps, and fresh layouts seemingly happen every day. Thanks to visual platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, the last few years have ushered in more image-driven design features than ever before. Facebook, Google+, and even Tumblr have tailored their updates to place a larger emphasis of size and quantity of pictures seen.

Now Twitter is joining the party, and their latest changes aren’t just visual improvements – they could bring huge benefits to small businesses willing to take advantage of them. Let’s walk through a few new features and what you can do to optimize these for your business.

Started seeing the new design in the wild and I don't quite like it. It takes away the simplicity that Twitter once has.

Nevertheless, this could also be due to the fact that the existing profile elements such as the header image and the profile photo do not fit well into the new design.
