Twitter is discontinuing CoTweeting, a feature that let two users co-author a tweet. The company said that the feature will cease to exist soon, and users will be able to view the set of co-tweets for a month. After that, they will be automatically converted to retweets on the co-author’s profile. This means that if you want someone’s opinion on something, you may have to ask them in person instead of tweeting them about it together!
The company said on the support page for CoTweets that the current experiment is coming to an end. This means that Tweeting together using CoTweets will no longer be possible starting from November 17th. The company is focusing its attention on other ways to work more closely with its followers.
Twitter is testing a new feature called CoTweets which allows users to share short, public messages with other Twitter accounts. This may help strengthen collaborations between users, as it will be easier to quickly send and receive messages without having to leave the main Twitter page.
Twitter is investigating ways to reintroduce the feature that would allow users to easily add a picture of their profile pic as their bio. Currently, this feature is unavailable for some users, but Twitter is still looking for possible solutions.
The official reasoning behind Twitter shutting down the ability to attach essays to tweets has not been made clear, but one possible explanation is that it was a hindrance to writing. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, offered his own speculation in a tweet saying that the social network took the step “to focus on enabling writers to add essays as attachments to tweets.” This closure may have been motivated by concerns over quality control or aggravation with excessive essay content flooding feeds. Although this feature was not popular among users and appears set for deletion in future updates, it does underscore a growing concern about how best to use Twitter for storytelling.
In an effort to help content creators make money directly from theircontent on the platform, social media giant Facebook announced a beta version of its Superfollowsprogramme next week. Superfollows will allowzealous fans of creators to follow their favorite content without havingto share anything themselves- a dream come true for solo creators who dreadcrowd-building initiatives. Fans can earn creditsto spend on products or services from businesses that are partners withFacebook, and they’ll also be able to track how much money theirfavorite artists are making due to increased engagement on posts and ads associatedwith those pages.
Saying that Elon Musk is introducing a new long-form writing program for Twitter would be like saying the Titanic was built out of sturdy timber. Sure, it might have sounded good on paper, but in practice it was nothing more than a colossal waste of money and effort.
Admittedly, this isn’t the only time Musk’s failed project has caused concern among observers. From failed product launches to erratic behavior on social media, his track record clearly leaves much to be desired. But with Twitter Notes being axed after just a few months in operation and no word yet on what his upcoming text attachment project might be, skepticism seems warranted until we hear more concrete evidence that this actually represents a bona fide improvement for the platform
Twitter’s text length might look a little bit different from the way we currently experience text on the internet. One example given by designer Andrea Conway is that text might be limited to 140 characters, instead of 280 as it is now. This could lead to more concise and engaging tweets, as well as making it easier for people to express ideas without taking up too much space on the screen.
Here’s what the options above might look like.
PS. Designs are early and basic. There’s a lot more we want to do with longer form content on Twitter. This is one way we’re thinking about a first step. Having said that, all feedback is welcome, so let us know what you think! pic.twitter.com/XOzR433w7R

Twitter is a great way to stay up to date on what’s happening around you and the world. With short, easy-to-read updates, you can learn about everything from current events to famous people in the news.
In 2022, the world is still reeling from the devastation of the Great War. Many countries are struggling to rebuild, while others areStill trying to come to terms with what happened. One country in particular has been
It is unclear as to whether or not Twitter plans to stick with their 280 character limit, as Alessandro Paluzzi’s video only showed one implementation of the feature. If Twitter does decide to change it, there would be a lot of people who are against it. Some argue that cramming the entire post into 280 characters results in less reading and leads to users clicking on irrelevant links or screenshotted memes too often. Others simply like having a longer post format on social media; so it remains to be seen if this change will actually happen.
In light of CoTweet’s demise, it seems Twitter is shifting towards a more centralized, ad-supported model. This move away from user-generated content may be good for Twitter as it continues to grow, but it’s likely to disappoint longtime users who have come to rely on the unique features and services offered by CoTweet.
