Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said Wednesday that the struggling messaging platform is in the midst of "rebooting" as it seeks to fulfil what he sees as its vital mission as a rapid source of information.

Speaking at the Twitter developers conference in San Francisco, Dorsey said the relationship with Twitter and third-party developers had become strained, but promised to work to improve the situation. "Somewhere along the line, our relationship with developers became a little bit complicated," he said. "I apologize for our confusion," he said, adding that "we want to reset our relationship, make sure we are learning, we are listening, we are rebooting." Dorsey said the developers play a key role in helping Twitter fulfil its important role in the global community. Twitter announced another feature called "Twitter Polls" that enables users to "weigh in on all the topics they care about."
