Twitter Inc., the social-networking service that delivers 140-character messages, redesigned its site to make it easier to post photos, videos and maps directly on the page, mimicking features available from Facebook Inc.

The company announced deals with 16 partners to let users embed their multimedia content within the site, Twitter said during an event at its San Francisco headquarters. A new two-column design, which rolled out to some users yesterday, can showcase material from Google Inc.’s YouTube and Yahoo! Inc.’s Flickr, along with smaller services like Justin.TV.
