Twitter is about to move away from its essence associated with microblogginghand Articles, his new role. Social network owner Elon Musk foresaw that they were working on changes to the Notes feature, which would not only get a new name, but also allow publish “long and complex articles”.

“If you want, you can publish a book,” said the tycoon. about articles on Twitter. The exposure of the businessman did not take place within the framework of the official statement of the company. Instead information came via tweet in which he replied to the post that reported the change in the first place.

Remember that Notes is an opportunity for users to get around the 280 character limit. This year, that number has increased markedly, but only for Twitter Blue subscribers. Those who pay for this version can send messages up to 25,000 characters long.

Articles on Twitter, the new identity of the “Notes” feature

The Notes feature on Twitter was announced last year.before Musk buys the company for $44 billion. The purpose of this feature, which was launched among a select group and in several countries, was to provide space for longer publications.

Now under the new name “Articles” more changes are coming. The section will be separated from the main timeline and will support blog style posts. In other words, it will work for long posts and will allow you to include images, videos, and tweets.

While Musk expected Twitter articles to appear on the social network, no confirmed release date yet. This feature is in experimental phase and as we have indicated, is currently available to a select group of users.

Twitter in times of change

The announced novelty is just one of Changes on Twitter, which has undergone a real revolution since Elon Musk took the reins of power into his own hands. In addition to the mass layoffs of employees and the dismantling of equipment, the magnate made significant changes to the social network.

Many of the improvements were to Twitter Blue, a paid version of the platform with “VIP features”. The checkboxes, which are now only available to subscribers, symbolize one of the most controversial changes in Musk’s leadership.

As Twitter articles and longer posts loom ahead, the firm is entering a new era with a new CEO. Following his leadership as CEO from October 2022 to May Musk announced his replacement for Linda Iaccarino. An expert in the advertising business, the former NBC Universal is responsible for guiding the course of a social network that faces new competitors.

On the other hand, there are rivals with sharp fangs. There is BlueSky by Jack Dorsey (co-founder of Twitter, by the way) and Mastodon. Also featured are Meta’s Threads, which had a promising start but have since shown signs of slowing down.
