Julpan bought by Twitter
An year old start up company known as Julpan is acquired by Twitter which will help them surface relevant results in the stream.Another important part is acquisition of the Julpan engineering team which also includes Ori Allon.
A better stream organization is the main objective of Twitter’s Julpan acquisition. Julpan’s technology was focused on precisely that sort of social update ranking.There is much more to Twitter’s acquisition than algorithmic technology. Presence of Allon and his team of 11 engineers is icing on the cake for Twitter.
Ori Allon was a former engineer in Google who left the company to pursue the Julpan project.His work entered a new high when his algorithm Orion was purchased in 2006.It still plays an important role in Google’s search rankings.
The details of the acquisition were not disclosed and the aquisition indicates a stronger focus on algorithmic ranking. Wait for for something new like tweet-optimization in the coming days.
