Against the backdrop of a Friday report from BuzzFeed that a "brand new Twitter" is on the cards, users of popular microblogging service are awaiting possible changes to their timelines this week.
The BuzzFeed report had revealed that Twitter has plans underway to soon launch an algorithm which will result in a reordering in the way tweets show up to Twitter users on their feeds.
Hinting at a supposedly forthcoming tweak in the usual Twitter algorithm because of which tweets appear in Twitter users' feeds in reverse chronological order, the BuzzFeed report had revealed that tweets will soon appear in the users' feeds based on what Twitter's algorithm thinks they want to see.
However, BuzzFeed said in its report that it is not yet clear whether the reordered timelines will be made available by Twitter as an option to the users or whether the changed algorithm will be forced in place by the company for all users.
Meanwhile, in an evident response to the BuzzFeed report, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey - without making any official comment on the report - said in a tweet on Saturday that the company "never planned to reorder timelines" this week. But, he did not rule out the possibility of the reported timeline change in the future.
