This is how Twitter now shows the articles with their new cards
The social network Twitter is constantly being redesigned. And it is that the world of applications requires always being up to date to avoid losing users and followers. Something that has been noticed in a chronology that is increasingly rich in content, or more saturated, depending on who is asked. After autoplay of GIFs or animations and videos, now the articles or media publications and web pages are becoming importantAnd it is that Twitter does not want to leave out the creators of this type of less lively content, offering new, more attractive cardsto get the attention of your followers.
This is a function that would still be in testing mode, according to the media Buzzfeed , who has discovered the changes in some content. Thus, the links to pages external to Twitter will now auto-expand That is, they will no longer be displayed as a mere link in a tweet or message, looking much more flashy whencollect an image and part of the text of the article or content that can be found on the web page to which it links. Something like when a link is posted on Facebook, where it is possible to see a headline, a image and content part
At the moment it seems that not all users are seeing this new form of tweets or vitaminized messages, which makes us suspect that Twitter still is testing this function. In addition, it seems that it depends on the webpages of the contents themselves that are linked, since they must activate the option to display in Twitter their summaries through cards With this, it seems that the links to web pages and articles will have more prominence in the social network of the 140 characters
From what has been seen, these new tweets show the 140-character message, as was the case up to now, but accompanied by the main image of the article to which they link. And not only that, at the bottom there is a card with the headline of the web page and a very small summary with a couple of the first sentences that can be read in the content.More than enough information to know if you want to click on the card and access the web page in question.
With this, Twitter continues to apply its transformation policy to be a more visual social network, despite the fact that its raison d'être and origin are centered in the text. However, other social networks such as Facebook have shown the importance of image and video, and Twitter has already followed in his footsteps with autoplay of content such as videos and GIFs Something that gives much more visibility to certain publications and that can attract the attention of both follower users, as well as media and publications that want to publish their content.
For now we will have to wait for an official confirmation from Twitter, but everything suggests that the system could be implementing progressively through the different chronologies of the users.
