Twitter is testing a new home page that features more real time or what they are calling “dynamic content”. After nearly nine months since the last homepage redo, Twitter introduces real time search, “algorithmically-selected” top tweet trends and suggested tweeps to follow.
“All of our recent changes embrace the notion that Twitter is not just for status updates anymore,” Twitter designer Doug Bowman wrote in a blog post. “It’s a network where information is exchanged and consumed at a rapid clip every second of the day.”
Twitter plans to monitor and “continually try to new ideas that help users more easily discover who and what they can find on Twitter.”

“All of our recent changes embrace the notion that Twitter is not just for status updates anymore. It’s a network where information is exchanged and consumed at a rapid clip every second of the day. With so much being shared, we know that there’s something of value for everyone. People who internalize the value of Twitter understand the power of this simple medium. But it hasn’t been easy to make that value transparent or obvious for curious folks coming to Twitter for the first time.”
