Twitter’s new profile layout will go live for all users on May 28.
New http://t.co/JbzACuw5a2 profiles will be turned on for everyone May 28. Get ahead of the curve & update yours: http://t.co/GpCan7yXGw

The new profile features an updated layout, new header image and the ability to pin tweets to the top of your page. Best tweets, or tweets with more engagement, also appear slightly larger, so your best content is easy to find. When navigating twitter, you can also choose to filter tweets when checking out other profiles. You can choose to view tweets, tweets with photos or videos and tweets and replies.
If you haven’t already done so, you can switch to the new layout simply by visiting your profile. You will see a preview of what your new profile would look like and choose to turn it on now or wait.

LinkedIn also suggests two ways to now share information about products and services – showcase pages and company updates:
