Twitter is testing a major profile redesign that’s very similar to Facebook and Google+, Mashable reports.

Mashable assistant features editor Matt Petronzio spotted on Tuesday a huge update to his Twitter profile page, with the main picture and bio scaled to the left and significantly more real estate dedicated to the header photo.

It’s common for Twitter to quietly test new features and design updates before tweaking or rolling it out to its greater user base. Experiments typically go out to a small, random pool of users.

Under the header photo in the test is the count for tweets, photos/videos (a new category called out on the profile), who you are following, followers, favorites and lists. Click the image below to enlarge.

Other profile pages viewed from an account with the new design are automatically made to look like this too. This means that even if your Twitter page isn’t a part of the test, Petronzio can see what yours will look like, the report said.

The news comes days after Twitter rolled out its latest design to all users, after weeks of behind the scenes testing.
