Twitter’s Global Participation Research Team:
New and returning people visit Twitter for fresh and timely content and stay when they connect with a community and/or passion. Twitter’s charter is to craft a sense of belonging for users by helping them connect with people, interests and passions. For Global Participation, belonging takes on new meaning as Twitter aspires to tailor the full Twitter experience for new markets.
The Design and Research organization works with a set of 8 principles in mind. It’s our mission to uphold these principles and have them reflected in the experiences Twitter design and build.
- Stand for people: From helping people stay informed to engaging in the public conversation to growing their businesses, always advocate for what is best for the people Twitter serves.
- Live in culture: Be immersed in and inspired by culture and counterculture.
- Set standards & break records: Strive for greatness. Don’t shortchange, shortcut, or settle.
- Work out loud: Share your work and your point of view. Create generously. Be transparent.
- Real talk: Give direct, honest, timely feedback that meets people where they are—and helps them along their professional journey.
- Always be learning: Run toward what you don't know.
- Own it: Be responsible for your work, and accountable for the impact it has on other teams and those Twitter serve. Bias toward action. Be decisive. Optimize to fail quickly, and iterate.
- Soar: Bias toward action. Be decisive. Optimize to fail quickly, and iterate.
