Interest Map uses machine learning to track interactions like likes, retweets, and follows. It groups similar topics to build detailed user interest profiles. Twitter claims this method ensures recommendations stay relevant. The system updates in real time as user behavior changes.
A spokesperson said the goal is to reduce irrelevant content. Users often see posts unrelated to their preferences. Interest Map fixes this by focusing on deeper topic relationships. For example, someone following tech news might get more coding tips instead of generic updates.
The feature also helps advertisers target audiences better. Brands can align campaigns with specific interest groups. Twitter emphasized user privacy remains a priority. Interest Map data is anonymized and not shared with third parties.
Testing showed higher engagement rates with Interest Map. Users spent 20% more time on the platform during trials. Feedback highlighted content felt more tailored and less random.
Twitter plans to roll out Interest Map globally over the next two weeks. It will be available on all devices via an app update. Account settings let users adjust or disable the feature.
Experts say this move addresses long-standing criticism of Twitter’s recommendation system. Past algorithms sometimes promoted controversial or off-topic posts. The company hopes Interest Map boosts user satisfaction and retention.
Senior product manager Jane Doe explained the team focused on transparency. Users can view and edit their Interest Map profiles anytime. This control aims to build trust and ensure accuracy.
