Investors Fav Twitter’s Instant Timeline Onboarding And Retention Fix, Shares Soar 7%

Wall Street wants more Twitter users, so when the company revealed a powerful way to gain and keep them on its analyst call, investors boosted its   share price 7.53% up to $42.57. An upcoming feature called Instant Timeline will equip new users with a feed full of high-quality content upon signup, proving Twitter’s worth until users can voluntarily follow the right accounts. Twitter will also show Instant Timeline to people who signed up, used the service a few time, but stopped before they built a solid feed.
