Twitter is definitely on the move in terms of testing a number of prominent features it hopes to introduce very soon.
First, we heard about a new price increase for Blue Subscribers, who were recently sent an email about it. This was closely followed by a feature that allows users to update their statuses with the activities they are doing or perhaps the state they are tweeting in.
And now, we’re getting more information about a test that’s probably a big shocker to many, including us. This was related to a new service that allows users to follow others without even creating an account first.
The company made the mega announcement via a recent blog post on Twitter, which stated how the firm is aware that not many people are ready to sign up for an account when they first arrive on the platform.
Keeping this in mind, the team wants to give so many people one of the easiest ways by offering this new feature where users can read tweets while experiencing some added benefits like seeing what it’s like to also have a time limit.
Yes, this is still in its experimental phase and that means we’re not sure if it will ever launch, but if it does, wow, that’s a huge step forward for any platform.
The feature is called ‘Try Twitter’ and is designed to allow users to follow and even read various tweets on their mobile app without signing up. Of course, if you want to comment, post or comment, you’ll need to register for that.
Twitter refers to new experiment or test drive as one that is available to the public and needs customization. Meanwhile, he confirmed how other simple actions like bookmarking, retweeting and even liking would require you to sign up.
So you may have access to people’s tweets and their respective timelines, but you’ll definitely be connected in various other places. The whole idea, in case you’re wondering, is to give users a taste of what to expect and if they’re interested, they can join.
But what is a bit shocking is how you have to give your location details to the app, in case you want to use the freebie feature. Then, you should follow at least one account and then proceed from there.
