SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) \u2013 Twitter on Thursday began rolling out overhauled pages crafted to boost the appeal of the message-sharing service to worldwide users.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the very core there are fewer places you have to click and less you have to learn,\u201d Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey said as he and other executives unveiled the changes at the flourishing startup\u2019s new San Francisco offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot of user testing and it has proven to be much simpler,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Overhauled navigation features take advantage of the fact that Twitter symbols such as @ and # are making their way into common culture, showing up anywhere from text messages to advertising billboards and television.<\/p>\n

Twitter designed Connect navigation tools that essentially turn those symbols into new age URLs, web addresses, to let people find all posts or other information being fired off about topics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe @ symbol has become the new URL; the fastest way to connect with anyone in the world,\u201d Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

Twitter is also expanding profile pages, letting users tell more about themselves or, in the case of companies, their brands.<\/p>\n

Dorsey said that revenue from \u201cpromoted tweet\u201d style ads has been steadily growing and the startup is testing a self-service advertising system that should launch early next year.<\/p>\n

The overhaul includes a new Timeline that brings together all Twitter chatter or content related to a particular \u201ctweet,\u201d or succinct text message of no more than 140 characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a universe within every tweet,\u201d said Twitter chief executive Dick Costolo. \u201cThe 140 characters are a caption associated with a rich canvas that could be a song, a video, a photo or more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Twitter design was described as a platform on which the service will build to reinforce its effort to \u201creach every person on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course tweeting is still front and center,\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cAny time you have something to tell the world you can do it instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
