Let's do a poll. Are you going to subscribe to Twitter Blue?
So no word about ads?
This. If paying a subscription means I can use Twitter without ads, then I’m interested. If I have to pay AND still endure advertising then it’s a hard pass…
This is big!! Is this the beginning of the end of social media freebies? 😰
Reddit had reddit Gold since years, Linkedin premium since like ever. I don't see how this changes much to social media in general. But it could be awesome for Twitter.
I'm dubious that this is anything more than a freemium model...
I'm in Canada, so I signed up: Honestly, I'm underwhelmed. 1. None of these features are available on the desktop web version of Twitter (which is what I use the most) 2. I would love to use bookmark folders, but (again) they're not available on the web? (Which makes them not that useful). Also: THEY'RE NOT SEARCHABLE? 3. The "undo" feature is basically a "pause after tweet" tool. There's a little timer that counts down until your tweet goes live. Feels like it's sort of useful (for proofreading) but not terribly exciting. *Here's what I would pay for in Twitter Blue:* 1. No ads 2. Better analytics + suggestions: "Tweet more like this..." 3. The ability to post longer videos 4. Better bookmarking (ability to search my bookmarks)
Total bullshit. I do not trust any account who has a ability to undo. He/she can manipulate any idea with undo function.
If it works anything like Gmail Undo, it's simply a delay in submission. I don't think it will immediately post it and then undo/delete the post.
what are you talking about? As Chris says, it's identical to undo send in gmail and many other apps
twitter is not an email app, as you know.
I think you are missing the point. Undo just means that it’s not actually live for 30s. If they undo it, it was never live, no one could have viewed it.
I'm curious to hear user's feedback on this. Bet that undo function will make ppl sub.
I will subscribe because I think it will make Twitter better when they are less dependent on Ad income. "Undo" sounds like a feature I will seldomly use. Adding a 30 seconds delay to conversations or commenting of live events doesn't sound appealing to me.
I have doubts that Twitter's revenue folks will mix the *subscriptions* with *Ads*; they are likely to keep these separate!
I think we all need to stand against these Tech Giants who are censoring so much on the internet and support new independent platforms. I created a twitter account more than 10 years ago and never used it since
What censoring are you referring to? Twitter allows practically everything.
the features seem super lame. why would someone need 30 seconds to undo a tweet? you can just delete it
Undo Tweet = Delete it, Bookmarks = Reply it to save, Reader Mode = Turn off notifications and focus on an interesting thread
Twitter is on a self sabotage spiral?
