Twitter Notes was a unique feature introduced by Twitter to provide its users with a more private and concise way to share their thoughts and updates. It allowed users to compose short, text-based notes, limited to a certain character count, which were then shared exclusively with their followers. Unlike regular tweets, Twitter Notes were not visible on the public timeline or accessible through search. Fast forward, and Twitter Blue subscribers now enjoy a generous cap of 25,000 characters per tweet. But there’s a twist! Recently, Twitter’s CEO, Elon Musk, made a revelation – the company is rebranding the Notes feature to Twitter Articles.
Musk stated that the new feature can be even used to publish a book on Twitter
Musk’s confirmation came in response to a tweet discussing the name change, wherein he shared that Articles would become the designated space for sharing “long, complex articles with mixed media.” He even hinted that one could publish a book using this platform. This news has ignited curiosity among Twitter users, who are eagerly waiting to access long-form expression.
Initially introduced as Notes and limited to select users in certain regions, the feature aimed to enable longer, more nuanced posts. However, it seemed to have faded into the background amid Elon Musk’s takeover of the company. Now, after a fair amount of time period later, Twitter Articles seems to be making a comeback.
So, what sets Twitter Articles apart? Imagine a dedicated blogging space within the Twitter ecosystem, unrestricted by the conventional tweet’s brevity. Articles offer the freedom to craft in-depth narratives, complemented by the inclusion of photos, videos, and other embedded tweets. A separate section, distinct from the main timeline, ensures a focused and immersive reading experience, while published Articles prominently grace users’ Twitter profiles. As thrilling as this prospect sounds, it’s essential to remember that Articles will start out in the experimental phase, accessible only to a select group of users.
