With the aim of helping you get more great content faster, Twitter updated its Android, iOS and mobile web apps. And with the aim of creating new ad products and consumer experiences, Twitter acquired Bluefin Labs.

Updated Twitter for iOS, Android, and Mobile Twitter
Earlier this week Twitter updated its Twitter for iOS app, Twitter for Android app, and mobile.twitter.com mobile web app. As the company explained, the update’s purpose is to help you “better find what’s most important to you when you are on the go.” To reach that goal the application provides a single stream of content in each tab.

Updated Twitter App Main features

• A single stream for all the content in Discover (tweets, activity, trends, and suggested accounts).
• New previews at the top of the Discover tab for Activity and Trends.
• Redesigned search function that presents the most relevant mix of Tweets, photos, and accounts. Similar to Discovery, it uses a single stream to present relevant info.
• Twitter for iPhone comes with a new search button that can be used from anywhere within the app. This button isn’t exactly new; Twitter for Android and Twitter for iPad already had this button.
• Older tweets now show up in search results. Instead of finding only the latest tweets, you can now find older tweets using search.
• The default view in the Connect tab is Interactions and it shows new followers, retweets, and mentions.
• Go directly to the website when you click an URL in a tweet. Previously you had to click the tweet to expand it and then click the URL to visit the webpage.
