Twitter is planning to allow users to try out new features such
as status updates to encourage conversations among its users, a media report
said.
In an interview to Engadget at Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
2019, a Twitter executive said that the social media platform would try to
involve its users in testing the features before formally rolling them out for
all.
“We want to develop a service for the people that are using it,
and we have to involve people in that way,” Sara Haider, Director of Product
Management at Twitter, was quoted as saying.
“We have a platform that the world uses to speak their mind, why
not use that as part of our development process?”
Twitter is set to start testing the programme in the coming
weeks, and while anyone will be able to apply to join, only a few thousand
users are actually going to get in, the report said. Those who participate in
the test programme would be able to share their feedback with Twitter.
“We’re making some pretty big changes to the way conversations
look and feel on Twitter, and we don’t want to just unveil that one day and
what if you don’t like it or it’s not working for you?,” said Haider.
“We really want to bring our community along for this journey
and be a part of this. We want to do this kind of thing more often,” Haider
added.
