<p>Twitter is planning to introduce a new Facebook-style algorithmic timeline in 23 countries, including India, as soon as next week in an attempt to bring the micro-blogging site to more people across the globe.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The new timeline will reorder tweets based on what Twitter's algorithm thinks people want to see most, a radical departure from the present reverse chronological order of tweets in the micro-blogging site's current feed.<br /><br />The new timeline is a way for Twitter to elevate popular content, make content accessible for everyone — even if they are not signed in, and feed people what they want to see and discuss most.<br /><br />"Before today, you could see individual Tweets, but it was hard to discover stories and conversations happening on Twitter without signing in. Now, you can check out a news story as it unfolds," Paul Lambert, product manager of Twitter, wrote on the micro-blogging website's blog on Tuesday.<br /><br />"It's real-time and straight from the source, just like the Twitter experience for those who log in," he added.<br /><br />The home timeline will be rolled out to people across 23 countries, including India, who visit the twitter.com homepage on their mobile devices.<br /><br />However, it is not yet clear whether Twitter will force users to use the algorithmic feed, or it will merely be an option, BuzzFeed News reported.<br /><br />Twitter is also planning to expand a refreshed twitter.com homepage, which is already available in the US and Japan, to 23 other countries.<br /><br />In November, the company killed off the traditional term favourites and replaced it with likes.<br /><br />However, the algorithmic feed would be, to date, the boldest change so far under CEO Jack Dorsey, who took the reins of Twitter in October last year. </p>
