SAN FRANCISCO – Twitter is turning its text-messaging website into a multimedia showcase by adding a new pane that will make it easier for its 160 million users to check out photos and video.
The redesign unveiled Tuesday may compel people to linger on Twitter's website for longer periods and come back more frequently, making it a more attractive advertising vehicle.
"We are still figuring out all the new possibilities," Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said in an interview.
