One of my twitter accounts must be in a test group for this new FB-like timeline design. Super uncomfortable browsing experience. We tried designs showing tweets like this a few times (pfp and name stacked on top of full-width tweet), but they didn’t make it out of design review.

@stop We realized hanging the user’s profile pic in the left margin acts as a very distinct marker, like a bulleted list, indicating clearly where each tweet starts and stops. Cheating the tweets and images over underneath the pfp wasn’t worth the extra few pixels gained in width.
