New York, Oct 30 (IBNS): Micro-blogging site Twitter on Tuesday said it is considering removing the heart-shaped 'Like'.

However, the company said the move is not going to be taken soon.

The Telegraph reported: "Founder Jack Dorsey last week admitted at a Twitter event that he was not a fan of the heart-shaped button and that it would be getting rid of it 'soon'."

Reacting to the report, Twitter Comms posted: "As we've been saying for a while, we are rethinking everything about the service to ensure we are incentivizing healthy conversation, that includes the like button. We are in the early stages of the work and have no plans to share right now."

Brandon Borrman, Vice President of Twitter communications posted: "Short story on 'like.' We've been open that we're considering it. Jack even mentioned it in front of the US Congress. There's no timeline. It's not happening 'soon'."
