Twitter rolls-out major design overhaul for web and apps

Twitter has launched a major redesign of its entire ecosystem, aimed at bringing a unified user experience to its web and mobile app portals.

The social network is rolling-out the new simplified look to Twitter.com as well as the smartphone apps for iPhone (iPad users are yet to receive the update) and Android devices.

The redesign brings a brand new profile and a simple navigation menu on the left hand side of the page. This offers easy access to your followers, who you follow, your lists and recent images.

To the right of the page will be your latest tweets, as pictured.

Home, Connect, Discover

The new-look Twitter also brings a new interfaced centred around three underpinning elements. Home, Connect and Discover.

The Home section now embeds photos and videos within your feed, a la Facebook, and will also feature conversations resulting from tweets.

All of those features will remain present in the new versions of the mobile apps for iPhone and Android devices, underlining Twitter's efforts to offer a more complete cross-platform experience.

The Connect tab brings you to your mentions and @replies and retweets, while discover features trending hashtags and topics which have been tailored to your interests and locations.

The new apps for iPhone and Android are available to download now, while at the time of writing, we were still seeing the older version at Twitter.com.

Sony adds Twitter ticker, YouTube HD to Bravia TV line-up

Sony has announced that a new firmware update has landed for its Bravia smart TV range, which brings YouTube HD and a Twitter ticker to connected Sony TV sets.

Sony issued a blog about the new features and explained that it has optimised the likes of YouTube and Twitter for the big screen experience.

"Watching the latest Internet sensation on a smartphone or laptop simply doesn't come close to the big screen experience," explained Sony.

"Now with our latest firmware update you can enjoy High Definition videos from YouTube in crisp, clear quality on your Bravia TV.

"What's more, YouTube videos are further optimised by the advanced image-enhancing technologies already built in to your BRAVIA TV. From sports clips to music videos, YouTube has never looked better."

Laptop browsing

Sony has also made it so that you can now watch videos on Facebook direct from your television and there is now a real-time Twitter feed which can roll across the bottom of the TV screen if you so wish.

It has also made it easier for those with non-Sony laptops to browse the web and project this to your television.

"You can already use your smartphone or Vaio keyboard to control your TV and surf the web – and now you can use other laptops too.

"From typing a web address to searching for information about the latest movies, it makes entering text on-screen even easier than using your TV remote."

Sony is making the new firmware available to Bravia TVs from its 2011 line-up only.
