Twitter Enters the World of Visual Media
Ahead of their I.P.O., Twitter did something they have been refusing to do for years: they changed the format of how tweets appear in your newsfeed and on your profile. Photos from Twitter and videos from Vine now show previews directly in your feed without you having to click a link. While this may seem minor, it is a pretty bold move for Twitter. Having refused to alter their 140-character format for so long, this change allows Twitter to join the rest of the social world, putting your visual creativity front and center in your tweets.
