Twitter begins testing a tool to facilitate the start to new users

Many current Twitter users will agree that a lot of new users can be quite difficult to adjust the operation of Twitter, a social network with a slightly different operation to which users are accustomed. Therefore, and with the idea of facilitating the process of adaptation, Twitter would be testing a tool to provide a full Timeline relevant content to new users .
Now, from The New York Times asserts that Twitter would have begun testing Instant Timeline -name receiving this new tool- with a small number of new users of Twitter for Android. In general, the operation seems to be pretty good, is that thanks to Instant Timeline new Twitter users can access a wealth of relevant content without stopping to find out how the network works , as at present. To do this, Instant Timeline analyze the user's phone book in order to determine how many of your contacts already have an account on the social network. Thus, in case some of them already on Twitter, Instant Timeline would check the accounts followed by these users in order to make a selection and show them to the new user . Later, as the user start following accounts of interest, recommended by Twitter content would disappear.
Working properly it would not be surprising that Twitter extendiese Instant Timeline to other platforms.
