Twitter will be getting some major updates in the coming year, including the ability to natively record and share videos from within the app version of the site. According to an official blog post by Kevin Well , the Vice-President of Product at Twitter, the company showcased this plan at its Analyst Day conference and they’ve chosen to share some details with users as well.
For starters, one big change that Weil mentions is that Twitter users will soon “be able to record, edit and share your own videos natively on Twitter too.” This feature is expected within the first half of 2015.
Weill also wrote about Twitter’s plans to ensure that users see more relevant tweets on their feed. He wrote, “…there’s no way even the most avid Twitter user will find everything that’s relevant to their interests in any particular moment. That’s why we’re exploring ways to surface relevant Tweets so the content that is interesting to you is easy to discover – whether you stay on Twitter all day or visit for a few minutes – while still preserving the real-time nature of the platform…”
How does Twitter plan to give users more relevant content? One way that Weil mentions is by giving users “a snapshot of what’s happening,” rather than a barrage of tweets, which might just be all saying the same thing. Also Twitter plans “to use information on who you follow and what you engage with to surface highlights content” around that particular kind of engagement. Twitter is also working on “an instant, personalised timeline for new users who don’t want to spend time cultivating one on their own.”
