Twitter could be planning a major update to its search and discovery feature later today, according to one of its employees.
Twitter's Pankaj Gupta, who runs the company's Personalization and Recommender Systems, sent out a tweet yesterday congratulating his team on an improvement to its search and discovery tools that he says, will dramatically change the service.
"Search and discovery in Twitter [is] set to change forever after tomorrow," Gupta tweeted. "Team -- congrats and enjoy the enormity of your impact few understand today."
Twitter has quickly realized that improving the user's ability to access relevant information from the service is a key component in its future. The site's Discover tab takes information from the person's following list and attempts to deliver relevant updates based on that. Twitter says that the feature is designed to take advantage of "additional personalization signals."
