Twitter prepares new functions to avoid abandonment
Twitter has started 2019 with new purposes to encourage “he althier conversations”. The company has been working on different changes and will start rolling them out shortly. In fact, a public beta is scheduled to be launched in which hundreds of users will participate Specifically, as has been reported, everyone will be able to request to be part of this experiment , although the microblogging service will only allow access to a small group of users.
Twitter intends to gather as much information as possible about the acceptance of new features before rolling them out to everyone for good. Apparently, one of the novelties that the company wants to test is related to an indicator that will warn when a user connects. It is not about something pioneering, since this function is already available on other social networks such as Instagram or Facebook Messenger. In the event that they like it and it ends up being inserted on Twitter, users will be able to see who is active or when was the last time someone connected. With this tool, Twitter wants to have a more direct communication.
The thing doesn't stop here. Twitter will also give their chosen ones a try out a function that will help break the ice when it comes to having conversations.They will be preset messages that will give rise to a quick chat with other users of the social network. For example, some of the suggestions to start a conversation could be: “does anyone understand…?” or "I want to know why...?" To all this we must add the possibility of putting a status, as in WhatsApp,as well as new changes in the design, with more colors, indentation or brightness in some tweets. Just today, the social network has announced a new design for the desktop version that is more minimalist and focused on tweets, so the effort it is making in this regard is clear.
Twitter's new experiment to bring a beta version with improvements and additions to some of its users, is part of an initiative to help foster positive interactions among membersof the platform. Twitter not only wants to improve the social network, it wants its members to decide what to change or not.
