Twitter has a big search and discovery announcement today, according to a tweet by the company’s Personalization and Recommender Systems Chief Pankaj Gupta.
“Search & discovery in @twitter set to change forever after tmrw,” tweeted Gupta Thursday, without giving away any other details.
It’s a long shot, but today’s possible announcement could be somehow tied to Twitter’s recent criticism of Google, after the company tightly integrated Google+ into its search results.
“As we’ve seen time and time again, news breaks first on Twitter. We’re concerned that as a result of Google’s changes, finding this information will be much harder for everyone,” said Twitter at the time.
Twitter’s last significant change in this area was last year’s launch of the Discover tab, which displays trending topics, hashtags, recommends stories and suggests people to follow.
Whatever is launching today, we’ll be closely monitoring Twitter and keep you updated about any changes.
