Formspring Gets a Twitter-Inspired Makeover

Popular social Q&A app Formspring unveiled a brand new version of its site on Monday afternoon.

Calling the new site “one of the most significant design evolutions in Formspring’s history,” the company is introducing new features and enhanced UI and UX considerations along with the new coat of paint.

Formspring discusses the new design on its blog, highlighting some of the major new features and changes to the layout.

The biggest new feature is the addition of a persistent top navigation bar. As with last year’s Twitter.com redesign, the top navigation bar remains at the top of the page even when a user scrolls through multiple screens of recent responses. This makes navigating to other parts of the site easy.

The layout of the site has also expanded from 760 pixels to 960 pixels. This is a size that will work well on desktops and laptops, as well as tablets like the iPad. Again, like the Twitter.com redesign, the change in width will effect users who have created custom backgrounds.

What do you think of the new design? Let us know.
