Twitter has started testing its Notes feature. Users can write and publish long-form content on a platform that otherwise thrives on 280 character tweets, thanks to the use of Twitter Notes.
As part of the initial phase, Twitter Notes are being tested with a small group of writers in the United Kingdom, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ghana. These notes can be read on and off Twitter by people in most countries, according to the platform.
As part of the initial tests, users who have been given access to Notes will be able to see a new Write tab. The Write tab gives people access to write notes and also access all their notes. Users who are under the test lot will also see a new Notes tab on their profile, where all their published work can be accessed for followers to read the long-from content. When Twitter rolls out the Notes feature more globally, it should work the same way for all users.
The feature of Twitter Notes allows users to create articles with rich formatting and upload media with it. Once published, these notes can be shared with followers. Notes can include embedded images, GIFs, videos, tweets, etc. Like tweets, these Notes will have their own links that can be tweeted, retweeted, shared in DMs, liked, and bookmarked.
Twitter Notes can change the way some people use Twitter, allowing them to share more in-depth ideas and thoughts, like a blog. This new feature should be helpful for Twitter users who publish articles on and off but don't want to set up a blog or a website for them.
Users can put all their thoughts in one Note because of the fact that Twitter Notes can help clean up the problem of long threads that confuse readers. It takes care of situations where users had to post screenshots of their Notes apps to be able to tweet a large chunk of text. This feature has been one of the most significant changes on Twitter since it doubled the tweet length from 140 characters to 280.
