"We're starting to explore ways to better support commerce on Twitter,a said Twitter Revenue Lead, Bruce Falck, during the event. "We know people come to Twitter to interact with brands and discuss their favourite products. In fact, you may have even noticed some businesses already developing creative ways to enable sales on our platform," he explained.

According to Falck, this demand gives confidence in the power of combining real-time conversation with an engaged and intentional audience. "Imagine easily discovering, and quickly purchasing, a new skincare product or trendy sneaker from a brand you follow with only a few clicks," Falck said.

But he cautioned investors that while Twitter was "excited about the potential of commerce," it was still something that's in "very early exploration".
