Twitter continues to grow, with more than one million new users each week and more than a billion tweets posted every three days.
Because of that growth, “Twitter is looking for ways to help people find information they will actually care about,” reports The New York Times.
It updated its algorithm and the design of its Discover page with the intention of pointing out “why each featured ‘story’ mattered and to make it easier for people to ‘join the conversation,’” explains the article.
The Discover page focuses on content that is popular amongst those you follow, as well as providing information on which users are sharing which stories.
Discover “is our opportunity to help you understand what’s happening on Twitter right now that’s relevant to you, on top of your timeline or any accounts you’re following. It’s based on what we think your interests are,” said Dick Costolo, Twitter’s chief executive.
