If you are still using the old Twitter set up, then most likely you’ve seen the announcement at the top of the page that says “You will automatically be upgraded to the new Twitter very, very soon”. It looks like this.
Twitter introduced the “New Twitter” nine months ago and although some people are complaining about the change and dragging their feet a little on coming over to the dark side, most are okay with the new set up.

Problem here is Twitter has not solved the blank screen problem many users have been experiencing in new twitter for months – what happens to those people when the old twitter goes??
I switched almost immediately … so I don’t even remember what the old Twitter is like!
