Of course, this update in itself would not have made the news if it was not for Twitter‘s own enthusiasm to share their “breakthrough” update:
Starting today, we’re rolling out a new font on http://t.co/zDdcbPwclU, moving from Helvetica Neue to Gotham.

On other news, if you were holding back on switching to the new Twitter profile up to now, you have probably lost the battle as it seems Twitter rolled it out to all accounts last night.
I have to admit that Twitter managed to make the buzz when it actually had nothing to say, kudos!
