Notes are lengthy entries on and off of Twitter that may include more than 280 characters and multimedia, such as photographs, GIFs, videos, and embedded Tweets. Due to the new notes feature finally, they may also be altered both before and after publication.
On Wednesday, Twitter unveiled the notes feature function, appropriately, its own Note (opens in a new tab). Notes are not quite Tweets, to be clear. Although they exist on the Twitter timeline, the lengthier postings are now devoid of many essential Twitter functions including Likes, Retweets, and Replies.
Additionally, a new Notes page will be added to your Twitter profile to house your Notes collection. Twitter outlines the justification for adding Notes in the post. “Writers have relied on Twitter for everything but the actual writing from the beginning of the company: sharing their work, being recognized, being read, starting conversations.
The purpose of Notes is to fill that gap and support authors in achieving their desired level of accomplishment.” In some respects, this is more about Twitter completely absorbing Revue, the newsletter platform it purchased in 2021, than it is about enlarging Tweets (opens in new tab).
In order to better match the integrated Notes, Twitter really updated the Revue Twitter username to @TwitterWrite. The whole endeavor could seem a little, well, SubStack-like if any of this seems familiar. That is probably also deliberate.
More About The New Twitter Notes Feature
A content platform called Substack blurs the distinction between online publishers and newsletters. It is developing a sizable portfolio of custom media brands. There are far more voices on Twitter than there were in the past, but they were all limited to either 280-character Tweets or lengthy Threads, which Twitter is still using.
They might make advantage of Twitter’s longer-form Revue newsletter tool, although SubStack is more well-known than Revue. Twitter’s most popular area may now host the main content stage thanks to Notes. It’s a major deal because there will soon be a feature on Twitter that allows you to post (or publish) and then modify.
We are aware that Twitter is examining the best options for enabling edited Tweets. Maybe they can try out some ideas using Notes. It’s not like the exam will be widely applicable. Only a select group of authors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ghana will have access to Notes for the next two months. None of the authors were identified by Twitter.
Personally, I hope it includes Stephen King, a maestro of horror, and a current Tweeter (opens in new tab). Elon Musk, the potential owner of Twitter, has not yet addressed the issue of Notes’ accessibility as of this writing.
