OpenBack offers \u201cdevice-side control of push notifications,\u201d according to Twitter\u2019s head of consumer product Jay Sullivan<\/a>, and Twitter could use the team to pull up timely information even when you’re away from the app. <\/p>\n \u201cThe best push notifications bring people to the conversations they care about on Twitter,\u201d Sullivan said as part of a Twitter thread<\/a>. \u201cBut irrelevant notifications are a distraction. With millions of people visiting Twitter via notifications every day, we want them to be timely, relevant and engaging.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOpenBack and their talented team joining Twitter will help us improve our ability to deliver the right notifications at the right time, in a way that puts people\u2019s privacy first.\u201d<\/p>\n 3\/ OpenBack and their talented team joining Twitter will help us improve our ability to deliver the right notifications at the right time, in a way that puts people\u2019s privacy first. We\u2019re thrilled to have them join the flock and look forward to seeing their impact. Welcome! <\/p>\n \u2014 Jay Sullivan (@jaysullivan) April 12, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s unclear exactly what these improved notifications might look like. But former Protocol<\/em> editorial director David Pierce has one idea that sounds awesome<\/a>: a \u201creally good super-curated timeline and it\u2019s all notifications.\u201d <\/p>\n I have a theory that \u201ca really good super-curated timeline and it\u2019s all notifications\u201d is Twitter\u2019s path to a trillion dollars and nobody\u2019s talking about it<\/p>\n \u2014 David Pierce (@pierce) April 9, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Perhaps I think this is a good idea because I\u2019ve DIY\u2019d something similar by making a highly curated Tweetdeck list that sends a push notification whenever somebody on the list tweets. But that only works when I\u2019m on my computer. With this acquisition, Twitter could replicate something like that to automatically pick the best tweets from people I follow or that it thinks I might care about (similar to Twitter\u2019s Android-only Highlights feature<\/a> that it shut down years ago<\/a>), and make it work wherever I\u2019m logged into the platform.<\/p>\n Twitter spokesperson Adrian Zamora declined to share terms of the OpenBack deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
