Now photos, videos, detailed information about the tweet and the history of correspondence can be viewed right in the stream. To do this, there is an "Open" link from the top right(when opened, it changes to "Close"), and if there is a photo in the tweet, the link "Show photo" will be present in the text of the tweet. When you click on the nickname of the user, his profile will be displayed in a pop-up window.

On the left is a menu consisting of several blocks: block with brief information about you (numbertweets, readers and readable users) and the form of sending a tweet, a block with a list of close-minded users, a block with current topics, as well as an information block of the company with links to information about the service, terms of use, etc.
