On the right, you can see the features, including whom you recently followed and who recently followed you, favorites, and Trending Topics.
§ Media – Now, it’s easy to see embedded photos and videos directly on Twitter, they have partnered with DailyBooth, DeviantART, Etsy, Flickr, Justin.TV, Kickstarter, Kiva, Photozou, Plixi, Twitgoo, TwitPic, TwitVid, USTREAM, Vimeo, yfrog, and YouTube.
§ Related content - When you click a Tweet, the details pane shows additional information related to the author or subject. Depending on the Tweet’s content, you may see: replies, other Tweets by that user, a map of where a geotagged Tweet was sent from, and more.
§ Mini profiles - Click a username to see a mini profile without navigating from the page, which provides quick access to account information, bio and recent Tweets.
New Twitter will be rolled out as a preview over the next several weeks. During the preview, you’ll be able to switch back and forth between the old and new interface.
