Twitter is quietly testing a new look for the site.

Twitter is testing a major redesign that's very reminiscent of Facebook and Google+.

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.

In addition, under the header photo lives the count for tweets, photos/videos (a new category called out on the profile), following, followers, favorites and view lists. Click the image below to enlarge.

Tweets are also much larger and more photo centric than before.

It's common for Twitter to quietly test new features and design updates before tweaking or rolling it out to its greater user base.

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