Twitter is a platform that needs to keep moving forward if it doesn't want to be relegated to other networks that are coming with more strength. The nature of Twitter has always been diffuse because it was born as a microblogging platform and not as a social network, which has led it to become something that people use, but don't quite know why. Despite all this, thousands of people continue to use Twitter for information every day and do not forget about it.
That's why people on Twitter don't just follow people (who share content) but use it mainly to follow current affairs What surprises us is that it took Twitter so long to realize that users need to be able to follow these topics as if they were people, in order to quickly access them.
Twitter launches the «Topics» or «Temas» that can now be followed
The blue bird platform has commented on its blog all the information about these new themes and how they work. Twitter will recommend different topics based on your interests and you can follow them the same way you can follow other users. It will be common to see topics about soccer teams, current affairs and other discussions. The important thing about these "topics" is that users will be able to see interesting and relevant tweets on the subject in question, and not just follow a single person.
This change comes with another very important change from days ago, which allows you to follow the lists directly from the feed on the iPhone.From now on, when you search for something, you will be able to see some topics that Twitter will suggest to you and you can choose to follow them just like you do with users. You will even have a dedicated menu in Twitter Settings with the “Topics” that you can edit to your liking.
The feature is very similar to the one that allows you to follow hashtags on Instagram, but much more refined and better thought out. Twitter does not detail what will be the correct number of suggestions that will reach us when following a topic.
When and how to follow themes or topics on Twitter?
Twitter has announced that this new feature will be available in the coming months for both iPhone and Android users. Some users of the alpha version of Twitter claim to have already tested this feature.Following these topics will be as easy as clicking on the Follow button that will appear next to them.
