Twitter desktop website gets mobile look

Twitter revamps desktop offering as people increasingly take to visiting online social networks and other online venues from mobile devices.

Twitter has revamped its desktop web pages to better mirror the experience of visiting the popular one-to-many text messaging service on smartphones.

"We're now rolling out a refreshed twitter.com reflecting the look and feel of our iOS and Android apps," the San Francisco-based company said in a message fired off at Twitter.

The change comes as people increasingly take to visiting online social networks and other online venues from mobile devices instead of laptop or desktop computers.
