Twitter is always looking for ways to capture new users since the audience is in decline. To do so, they clearly intended to inspire from Facebook's design, which is, sadly, far from everyone's taste .
The new design was made for a tiny fraction of users and unfortunately for twitter, for Matt Petronzio, a Mashable journalist, who was more than happy to relay the news. This new design looks very much like Facebook with profile picture, cover picture, central column and tabs. Obviously these items are important to Twitter items, but must admit it feels particularly "Facebooky".
