Twitter Inc., the micro-blogging service that is one of Silicon Valley’s hottest start-ups, on Tuesday showed a new version of its website designed to attract more visitors and better compete for advertisers with Facebook.com, the social-networking service.

Evan Williams, Twitter’s chief executive, said the redesigned Twitter.com will allow people to click on links to videos and images that are posted on Twitter and see that content directly on the Twitter website, instead of being redirected elsewhere.

Previously, Twitter photo and video links connected to the sites where the content was created. Google Inc.’s YouTube online video site and Yahoo Inc.’s Flickr, among others, now will let their content be shown on Twitter.com, as is the case with Facebook.
