Twitter recently announced a new interface design that incorporates much of the functionality for which people were turning to outside application developers. People who are responsible for managing Twitter feeds for their brands or clients need to consider how the new design will impact their Twitter backgrounds. The new funcationality means the feed takes up more real estate — and that means your background photography, graphics and text will be less visible (maybe even covered) to many users who have smaller monitors.
Here’s a great blog post from social identity designer @hughbriss on what the new design means for custom backgrounds. Happy Tweeting!
