Just a few months ago, we talked about Twitter’s plans to launch its new CoTweets feature. And that’s when the company detected how the option allows two users to co-author any particular tweet of their choice.
Now, it seems that the testing phase is coming to an end as the app recently allowed the functionality to work for a limited number of users.
As reported by the media recently, users of the platform can best use the sharing function with contacts they think have the same thoughts as them. Therefore, this adds a new twist of co-authorship that we rarely find on any platform.
The new innovation simply works. All users have to do is allow a member to post a tweet and then invite another to join the same tweet. This second member will be labeled as the co-author of the tweet.
This feature is certainly interesting, but we think that replies to the tweet will only be directed to the main author of the Tweet.
Twitter announced that the feature would be released through a release where they revealed how they are busy trying to explore a variety of ways that their members can collaborate. Additionally, the platform also shared how they have been busy trying to test the CoTweets feature for a short time just so they could see how some businesses and users adapt and grow with the new offering.
This is definitely a smart move on the part of the company, as we think it can strengthen the connections of so many people in the app as they start to engage more with others.
It will also be fun to see how users begin to make the most of the app’s functionality. And in case it turns out to be a little successful, it will undoubtedly be distributed to the masses soon.
Unfortunately, for now, if you haven’t been able to experiment with the feature, you’ll just have to wait a little longer. And that’s because it’s only being labeled as a limited release and based entirely on user feedback. So there is definitely some chance that the event could be labeled as short-lived.
Twitter says the new addition was added to help provide users with more variety in terms of features and also to improve the app’s service by expanding tweets.
We’ve seen Twitter add some other changes like the release of Notes and an added regulatory measure on how tweets are released. Let’s not forget the good old ‘edit’ button that many of them have been looking for for a long time.
