This morning’s Today show promised to unveil big changes that are happening with Twitter. Twitter’s CEO,  Dick Costolo, sat down with Matt Lauer & Ryan Screast to chat about the “big” new changes.

The biggest change? Making twitter more visual and engaging. In order to achieve this, Twitter has released a “timeline-y” feel for profiles that feature a large image at the top. The main image now displays the users info (Twitter handle, account name & description) over the new feature image.

Costolo stated that:

The new profile is beginning to roll out today across Twitter.
