Twitter today invited developers to a platform-focused event at its headquarters early next week, where it plans to show off new features.

The event -- which begins at 6:30 p.m. next Tuesday and is scheduled to run until 9 p.m. -- is not open to the press, the company said.

The company offered no other details as to what will be in store, though noted that it would focus on "mobile oriented" things.

"We've been working on some exciting new features for the Twitter Platform, and we'd like to share those with you," Twitter's platform lead, Jason Costa, said in a post on the company's developer site.

Twitter turned 7 years old last week, and now has more than 200 million active users who are publishing more than 400 million tweets a day.
