This is the new tab that Twitter is testing in its apps
The social network Twitter continues to be a particularly useful tool for those users who want to keep an eye on the actualidad And it is that, beyond knowing what the famous people, friends or relatives think and share at all times to that follows, the immediacy and brevity that it offers continues to be key to the journalistic world and from latest informationPerhaps for this reason, looking again for the added value it can offer to new users, Twitter is experimenting with a new tab focused exclusively on news
This has been confirmed by several media outlets after, both in the application for the platform Android and for iOS, several users have discovered a new tab. Apparently, this is an experiment that those responsible for Twitter are carrying out through their mobile applications A test of what could become a new and permanent information tab for users most interested in current affairs, or for those who are new to the social network of the 140 characters
At the moment only some users are discovering this new tab, as the tests of Twitter progressThis appears in the middle of the section bar of this social network. In the upper part in the case of Android, and in the lower bar if using a iPhoneSimply click on it to access a new section that contains current news from around the world A good way to find out what is happening in any moment.
This way it is possible to see a good collection of tweets or messages about news, events or recent facts. But not only that. By clicking on any of this content, the user sees how a displays a good amount of information, and not just the specific message. Thus, along with the initial news item that has caught the user's attention, and for which it is possible to see the headline, the main photo and the lead, it is also possible to collects a selection of most related tweetsWhether they are posts on the same topic from other media outlets, or messages from other users of the social networkthat also have to do with the theme.
For now it is only a test, so it is possible that this new section offers more news if it ends up reaching all users. Or even disappear forever if the results are not satisfactory. At the moment it is just one more experiment by the social network of the 140 characters to improve its attraction and interest. The only thing that is known is that this selection of news is carried out by algorithms, without a human being collecting what is most important and current. Something that Twitter knows well thanks to the tags, trending topics or topics of the moment, and other interactions of the users themselves.
Now we just have to wait and see if the social network decides to finally include this function and focus again on the value of information from last minute.
