Twitter removed 166,000 accounts for posting terrorist tweets in the second half of 2018. This is of course not nice, just like all the criticism about fake news, hate speech and propaganda that the platform received. Despite the negative messages, Twitter seems to be on the rise again . In addition to the turnover of the first quarter , the number of active users also stepped up a floor. Could this be due to all the new developments of the platform? In this article I highlight 7 of them.
Retweeting is an important part of the platform to share information and your own opinion easily country email list and quickly with your followers. It is therefore not surprising that many Twitter users found it a pity that up until now only 'text' could be retweeted. Of course, images sometimes say much more than words. Twitter has listened to this desire and has gone back to the drawing board with the retweets.
Despite being a design challenge , Twitter has now made it possible to add gifs, images and videos to your retweet. Right after the launch, Twitter retweeted users who requested this innovation with a gif.
And this is not the only thing Twitter is doing to respond to user requests:
2. The prototype app twttr
Twitter launched, of course via a tweet, a new app where users can test new features and give feedback. So far, the group of testers consists of a few thousand English and Japanese.
The first tests will be about the new designs of threads , because they are currently (visually) difficult to follow. Twitter has been working on optimizing the design for a long time. Via this new app, users can help with this.
