Congrats! You’re about to receive a makeover.

On April 9, Twitter announced plans to roll out a new site design, and everyone seems to think the renovations look suspiciously like Facebook.

Among the updates, according to CNN:

– much larger profile photo and header image

– sort a person’s tweets based on photos, videos or replies to a conversation

– tweets with the most retweets and replies will appear larger so they become easier to find

You’ll notice the folks at Twitter have no plans to increase the site’s 140-character limit. Why? Less is still more.
