This would be the responses in full color on Twitter

Possibly Twitter is becoming the least popular social network of the moment. Very useful to keep up to date with everything that happens around your favorite programs, breaking news and some personalities. But little by little, between false accounts, toxic attitudes and the distribution of fake news (false news), it is losing its momentum. That is why changes are coming. And they are major changes. From a new system for beta testers or testers, to changes in design and operation that have already been seen.Here we show you.

New answers with colors

One of the most striking changes is that of the conversations on this social network, which in its new beta or test version ( limited to a small group of users) is color-coded. Something that helps to distinguish with just a glance which messages are responses to the original publication made by followers, and which are from other people outside our account. In other words, a visual way of ordering the content to attend especially to what interests us.

According to TechCrunch, which has been able to see the new test version from Twitter's product management director, when you click on a tweet with several responses, a is displayed colorful screen In this way you will be able to see in green the responses of other accounts that you follow to that original tweet or message, and in blue those people you do not follow.Along with this, in addition, the person who originally wrote the message will also see their own responses marked with color.

At the moment, and as seen in the images, the result is colorful and helps to diversify. Of course, it is not visually attractive, verging on the strident.

Goodbye to hearts and other icons

The next beta version that they are already testing on Twitter of their own application also brings other notable changes in the visual aspect. The one that stands out above all is the one that eliminates the FAV (favorite) and RT (retweet) icons,as well as others already typical of the social network. In other words, the tweets or messages appear cleaner, without any type of accompanying icon.

The functions are still there, of course.The point is that they only appear when you click on a message or publication. The idea, it seems, is that Twitter's engagement or active tools only appear for those who really want to use them, and that the social network appears clean and accessible to those who just want to see the content.

Apart from this, Twitter's experiments have led them to create a kind of status for accounts Something with which to specify For example, where you are writing from, if you are available, or similar relevant information. Information that appears under the user's name next to each tweet or post.

New algorithm to order answers

So far Twitter relies on its system for classifying responses to an original tweet.If you look closely, when you click on one, you will see the responses from the accounts you follow first, and then the rest of the responses from other users who have responded. Well, Twitter is experimenting with sneaking in its algorithm to order responses by interest

In this way the algorithm would change the order of the responses to an original tweet. The idea is that it is not only easy to follow the responses of the accounts that interest us, but also to be able to follow the conversations derived from the original point that may be of most interest. In other words, an easier way to make sure you're on top of the topic and what's being talked about without having to spend too much time proactively browsing responses.

Now, all these novelties are, for the moment, little more than experiments Tests that Twitter has begun to develop in its plan of beta testers. Which means they don't have to make it to the final version of the app.And even less soon. So we will have to wait to see what direction Twitter takes.
