Twitter thinks it has identified your BFF. The company is currently testing\u00a0a new feature that will highlight the tweets from a select, single account that Twitter thinks you\u2019ll want to see. Yes: a single person\u2019s tweets will get their own special spot on your timeline. The feature is similar to Twitter\u2019s \u201cIn Case You Missed It\u2026\u201d which rounds up<\/a> the tweets from those\u00a0accounts you more regularly engage with, or others Twitter thinks you might like.<\/p>\n And like \u201cIn Case You Missed It\u2026\u201d, you can dismiss this\u00a0new \u201cBFF\u201d module when it appears. This will indicate to Twitter that you want to see this feature less often.<\/p>\n Twitter confirmed the test is underway for select users on iOS, Android, and the web.<\/p>\n The account it chooses to show you is based on a number of signals \u2013 like how often you engage with the account in question. Repeat engagement is also used to determine whether or not Twitter shows you the module at all.<\/p>\n Originally just a chronologically-ordered feed of information, Twitter\u00a0has taken steps over the years to make its service more approachable, and it\u2019s always testing out new ways to boost tweets, likes, and retweets.<\/p>\n As a part of these efforts, Twitter has tried to distance itself from the chronological timeline, to one that\u2019s more algorithmically determined. The company\u00a0has not gone as far as Facebook in completely re-ordering the content it displays. Instead, it pushes tweets it thinks you wouldn\u2019t want to miss up to the top of the screen, to be shown when you return to its app after being away.<\/p>\n This is where you\u2019ll find the new module, as well, if you\u2019ve been opted in.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear how well Twitter has correctly figured out whose<\/em> tweets you want to see the most, however.<\/p>\n But those who are in the experiment now seem to find it funny that Twitter is pointing them to the tweets from a single individual.<\/p>\n Jokes one Twitter user, \u201c\u2026I don\u2019t think I like anybody enough to justify this new feature you\u2019re trying.\u201d<\/p>\n Don’t get me wrong twitter, I like @J_Manasa<\/a>, but I don’t think I like anybody enough to justify this new feature you’re trying pic.twitter.com\/fz4HGJCuVM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Papillon Outcomes (@Errorfied) January 19, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n this is a cool new useful feature @twitter<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Sx0BZKcstm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ben Cox (@WFNYBen) January 19, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Low twitter’s new @sidneyraz<\/a> feature pic.twitter.com\/4XGAUe3G3y<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sara Ghaleb (@SaraGhaleb) January 19, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n thank you twitter for this great new feature @ItsTonyNow<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/MjJfPMPI6g<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rick Slick (@Yelix) January 18, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n @seandunn76<\/a> this is an oddly specific new twitter feature pic.twitter.com\/qiQHFoW87o<\/a><\/p>\n\n
