Twitter Posts Job Posting for Developing Paid Subscription Service; Will Platform Become Pay-to-Use?

Shares for Twitter’s stock surged more than 8% on Wednesday as the company posted an online job listing for a developer who would work on a new system designed as a pay-to-use platform.

The job listing advertises the opening for a project team termed “Gryphon.” The company describes the team as creating a “subscription platform” that “can be reused by other teams in the future.”

In a statement to CNN on the job listing, Twitter underplayed the announcement, stating that it was only a job listing, not a product announcement.

“We’re conducting this survey to assess the interest in a new, more enhanced version of Tweetdeck.
