Twitter CEO Dick Costolo Wants To Build A “DVR Mode” For Twitter

At a moderated panel yesterday morning at the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo hinted at several key feature updates for the platform.

Most buzzed about was what he referred to as a “DVR mode” for Twitter, a way to filter the signal from the noise especially during live events.

Since there are currently more than 200 million active users every month on Twitter, the firehose of tweets makes consumption a challenge.

The days of the infamous Twitter “fail whale” are mostly past, but just because the site isn’t constantly crashing doesn’t mean it’s always a smooth and stable user experience.
