Twitter scrambles. 2016 hasn't been his best year, and his inability to adapt in the face of successful photo and video oriented networks like Snapchat or Instagram has put the company in a continuous renewal process. This same week Twitter announced the inclusion of a 360ºstreaming system shortly after having integrated your Periscope tool natively to facilitate the live broadcast process.Now, the company pioneer of microblogging that in March celebrated ten years, asks its followers what are the aspects to improve on the web, through the hashtag Twitter2017, to be able to recover the presence and traffic of past years. Jack Dorsey, its CEO, wrote down the responses and advanced some points.
Editing messages
The social network that is characterized by its speed also has a big problem by not allowing edit or correct tweets, something that forces us to delete the comment and rewrite it or leave it with errors if we don't have time. Other networks like Facebook already included editing tools for their posts, first for the first few minutes post-publication and currently no limit of time.Therefore, it is not surprising that Jack Dorsey confirmed through his Twitter account that the most repeated request was the possibility to correct tweets, and that had already been launchedto do something about it. The way in which they will carry it out is not clear.
Fastest News
Some users sent the CEO of Twitter their concern about not being able to view news on time against all the general maze of received content. The response was swift and Jack Dorsey stated that "they were already working on it« . How could this need be met? Maybe a filter that uses location to give priority to nearby news or a system of RSS feeds with topics that we consider interesting.Twitter has always had an important journalistic role that the company does not want to lose, even more so when it is confirmed that its users mainly value the information poured into the social network, more than photos or filters.
Retrieve lists
Among the requests and complaints from various users, there was the reference to lists, a system considered useful by many but which had not had any kind of update, and that neglect has made people just forget about that tool , which allows to filter accounts of interest by themes, in order to have a better follow-up of the themes that interest the user.
This question that he sends Twitter to his followers is still open, so you can use Twitter2017 to continue helping shape the Twitter you want for next year, so that it better represents its users and converts it on a useful network for more people.In Twitter they want 2017 to be the year of the return of the 140 characters, and listen to your users is the best way to achieve it.
