"We have a platform that the world uses to speak their mind, why not use that as part of our development process?"

Twitter is set to start testing the programme in the coming weeks, and while anyone will be able to apply to join, only a few thousand users are actually going to get in, the report said. Those who participate in the test programme would be able to share their feedback with Twitter.

"We're making some pretty big changes to the way conversations look and feel on Twitter, and we don't want to just unveil that one day and what if you don't like it or it's not working for you?," said Haider.

"We really want to bring our community along for this journey and be a part of this. We want to do this kind of thing more often," Haider added.
