Twitter Now Allowing Users to View Other People’s Timelines

Twitter has just launched a new feature that lets you navigate through the “following” pages of people you follow. The announcement came a few hours ago in the form of a tweet that read…

Thanks to this new feature, you will now be able to view people being followed by a specific user you follow. And follow them if you want. You can also view their recent tweets to get a clue on what their interests are, and whether they’re worth following.

Mind you that all this information is being made available to you on a single page layout, unlike before where you had to open a profile in a new tab to get more details.

Let me show you exactly what I mean….

In the above scenario, I’m viewing Twitter from the profile of one of the best people I follow namely @KellyeCrane and When I click on her “following” page, a list of people she follows is populated.

Now, if I want to follow @emhorton1 and click her on the left side (list of people followed by Kelly Crane), her profile will be displayed on the right side together with her recent tweets.

This will give me an idea of the kind of things she’s into, which will help me in deciding whether to follow her or not. That simple!

So…. What do you think about this new feature? Are you going to incorporate it in your Twitter strategy to grow your following? Let us know in the comments below.

Special thanks to @KellyeCrane and @emhorton1 for the image.
