Twitter has finished rolling out the new version of its web interface (a.k.a. the “New Twitter”) to all users, the company announced Wednesday.
In a blog post, company spokesperson Carolyn Penner revealed that the New Twitter is now available to all 160 million of Twitter’sTwitter users in six languages. She also said that users will only be able to switch between the old and new versions of Twitter for the next few weeks, after which time only the new version will be accessible.
The company told us last week that the majority of users had access to the new interface (which many have viewed as an all-out attack on third-party Twitter clients), but today marks the official completion of a rollout process that began in September.
The New Twitter, the design of which is based on the proportions of the Golden Ratio, brings many new features to Twitter’s web interface. Most notably, the new version provides support for multimedia viewing directly on Twitter.com, which prevents users from having to click off-site to view images and video.
The new interface also displays a slew of new navigation controls, concentrated in a drop-down menu bar that runs across the top of the screen. Another favorite feature of MashableMashable readers is the ability to view threaded conversations more easily on the Messages page.
Now that everyone has the New Twitter, we’re eager to hear how you like it. Do you prefer it to the old version? Do you now use Twitter.com instead of a third-party client on your desktop?
