Leading social networking site, Twitter has incorporated a new, revolutionary feature in its short messaging service. It announced today that it is launching a new service to make the world a more truthful place. The new feature, which has been named as 'Twitter truth' (http://truth.twitter.com) is a result of a new algorithm developed by the company which ensures that whenever you tweet, you tweet only the truth. This algorithm is based on Arthur Conan Doyle's maxim. "Whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains is the truth."
"We have developed a new algorithm which essentially eliminates all impossible and false statements posted on Twitter using a special technology, which through an extensive web search of the user, finds out whether the person is tweeting the truth or lying out-rightly. Any tweet that successfully passes the elimination stage will be considered as truth and get posted. If it fails the elimination test, it will be posted but in blood red color indicating that the tweet is a lie. Our new feature will help the cause of truth worldwide. Through this new feature, we are trying to ensure that people tweet only the truth of their hearts and not the lies fabricated by their minds.” said the press release issued by Twitter Inc.
"There is too much falsehood in the world today. Everyone lies. Politicians lie, industrialists lie, movie stars lie, religious gurus lie, common people lie. We need truth badly. Through this service, people of the world will be able to separate the truth from the lies" said Evan Williams, CEO of Twitter, speaking to reporters at the premises of the company's headquarters.
