Twitch gets transparent about how it wants to boost discovery

Twitch has one of the largest and most dedicated audiences on the internet, but it is still difficult to carve out your own following on that platform. The company announced today that it is working on a broad initiative to help people discover content that they’ll like and to help broadcasters attract new fans.

The company has launched a page on the collaborative working site Trello to give viewers and livestreamers transparency into what Twitch engineers and designers are working on. For example, it is planning to rework its homepage to replace its social-networking-like Pulse tools with more recommended channels, according to a blog post by Twitch product manager Tom Robertson.
