While Twitter is already a leading platform for information distribution, a few aspects of its redesign today show how it's strengthening itself in this area. It's improving inline media viewing and tweet embeds to aid viewing and sharing, and adding a personalized Stories section to help users more easily explore the wide world of tweets.The first, inline media viewing within tweets, is an adjustment from the way you could show media in the previous two-pane view. If a tweet in your home stream contains media, you can click on "View Photo" or "View Video" to reveal it without having to leave the site. So, less clicking through panes, and more engagement as a result. If you share the location of your tweets, they'll also appear here.Most interestingly, these inline views also appear to include third-party apps like FourSquare. Any app developer should think hard about how to take advantage of this new platform real estate.
