Representatives for Twitter did not immediately respond to arequest seeking comment on the Quartz report.

Twitter is leaning toward picking the New York Stock Exchange over Nasdaq for its highly anticipated initial public offering, a person familiar with the matter said last week.

Another person familiar with the matter said earlier this month that Twitter aimed for its shares to trade in the stock market before the US holiday of

Thanksgiving on November 28. Twitter is an online social networking and microblogging service that enables users to send and read “tweets”, which are text messages limited to 140 characters.
