This Wednesday (30), Twitter announced that it is expanding its tweet recommendations feature. According to the social network, now it will not only be selected users who will see these publications, but everyone who uses the platform. Despite the announcement, the news does not make it clear how often this will happen or whether recommendations should increase in the feed of users who already saw them.
According to the platform, Twitter’s personalized suggestions aim to ensure that everyone on the network sees the best content possible. Which implies showing publications in addition to those that are in the feed and that for some reason may be of interest to the user.
On a your blog text, Twitter makes it clear that all suggestions are shown only based on the actions that the person performs in the application. Which could be related to tweets she interacted with, threads she followed, or even posts that people in her network liked.
For those already wondering where these recommended content will appear, Twitter warns that they will be “on the homepage timeline, in certain places on the Explore tab and in other places on Twitter” – without specifying which other places those would be.
The change even seems to be already being observed by some users, as shown by the prints by historian Kevin M. Kruse🇧🇷 The user was faced with the publication of an unknown person on his Twitter account, without there being a “promoted” badge or RT from someone he follows.
Recommendations may include larger Twitter strategy
It’s worth remembering that this wasn’t the first change Musk made to the app’s interface since he took over Twitter – and no, I’m not talking about the new version of Twitter Blue🇧🇷
As soon as he bought the platform, the CEO made a major change to the homepage of the website🇧🇷 Seen when the user is still logged out, it automatically redirects him to the platform’s Explore tab, where he has access to the most commented subjects on the social network.
With the change now added to the announcement of the recommendations, it is therefore to be imagined that Musk is working on a strategy focused on algorithms. This can help the growth of the social network, as companies such as Meta (Instagram and Facebook) and ByteDance (TikTok) have already proven.
How not to see twitter recommendations
In order not to see Twitter’s recommendations, just switch your network’s home page to the chronological timeline – a version of the feed in which only tweets from those you follow appear, in the exact order of publication.
The change can be made both in the mobile and desktop versions of the platform, requiring just one click on the brightness icon at the top of the screen.
