Twitter is giving users the option to filter their interactions with other users more effectivley, designed to provide more information on account activity akin to the Facebook feed.
The first update will see the @mentions column change to @’yourname’ to include information about @ replies and updates that the user has posted which have been ‘favourited’, as well as retweets of messages and recent new followers.
The second update will see a new tab labelled ‘Activity’ that will show information on the interactions of other users on the site, including who they’ve followed, messages they’ve retweeted and messages they’ve ‘favourited’.
The updates will bring more of a Facebook feel to the site by providing a constant stream of information relating to the user and the accounts of other users as Twitter continues to add new functionality.
The company is also alowing users to directly upload photos to Twitter, rather than having to use a third-party client such as TwitPic.
