If you’ve always been a curious Twitter user and wondered about the number of Tweets sent by users on the app, it might be your lucky day.
The company is busy working on a test (as spotted by @iwishiwasafinch) that allows users to do just that, thanks to the efforts of reverse engineers who spotted the new development last month.
But this morning, we’re hearing about new reports mentioning how some users of the platform are already being given access to the feature, and there’s nothing more exciting than that.
We’re not going to lie, it’s a little brutal or wild, not to mention personal. But hey, it’s nice to know there are more people out there who just might spend more time than you on the platform.
But then again, it can be taken negatively by some because let’s say someone who tweets 1000 times a month can be seen as annoying on a user’s timeline.
On the other hand, someone else tweeting might not be worth your follow. Therefore, the metrics that are displayed out there in the open is not the best decision after all.
But remember, Twitter’s spokesperson says this is just a test with no definitive word on what the actual product would be like. The app says they’re trying to figure out how it all works.
Twitter says the experiment involves witnessing the effect of showing users the frequency of the account’s tweets and how that can influence their decisions on the app.
Considering the past, people termed it as complete horror and a nightmare because no one wanted to reveal their frequency on the app for their own reasons.
Next, we have news that the app may be fulfilling users’ wishes for a modification. While it’s not exactly an edit button, it’s something very similar.
Twitter told its fans that editing was not an option because the tweets were extremely short and that meant small edits could really affect the context of the message.
But now, thanks to a reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wongwe’ve got some news about Twitter working on getting new text that can be attached to edited tweets after they’ve been embedded on third-party sites.
Despite all the years of controversy and how Twitter refused to edit the tweets, they really managed to find a good solution to the problem without creating too much of a fuss.
Yes, it will be a bit complex and technical, as far as the backlog goes, but it will be worth it.
