Twitter rolling out personalized recommendation feature

Twitter wants to make your use of the social network “more personally relevant” with a new discovery feature that recommends Twitter handles you should be following and tweets you should know about. The new tool took inspiration from an experimental account called @MagicRecs, which examines Twitter users’s network and sends out occasional recommendations of accounts to follow via direct message. Mobile Twitter users, particularly Android and iOS users, will get recommendations through push notification.
