Twitter has launched it’s new interface and with it comes a better, faster and more user friendly interface.

 With @mentions, searches, retweets and lists just above your timeline and the ability to embed Photo’s and Videos without using any 3rd party services; support for photo’s and videos from DailyBooth, DeviantART, Etsy, Flickr, Justin.TV, Kickstarter, Kiva, Photozou, Plixi, Twitgoo, TwitPic, TwitVid, USTREAM, Vimeo, yfrog, and YouTube.
