Twitter is launching its ‘Close Friends’ feature Circle globally
- winternett 4y agoMost users are complaining about their visibility and difficulty in promoting their business on Twitter, not about being able to limit audiences from what I can tell. The announcement of this relatively weak feature seems tone deaf to me... Especially because prior to this they Launched Twitter Blue, which does a similar thing changing certain posts to subscription only controlled by accounts. It's really strange that an app that has regularly show that it isn't secure is now trying to launch "secure" features.. Not exactly trust worthy at this point. If I were leading at Twitter, I'd prioritize individual account and content discovery/visibility over these underwhelming post-limiting features, and also fix issues with trend spam, but Twitter hasn't really addressed those things firmly at all for years.
- jd_illa 4y agoeh, do people want this? Twitter, unlike Instagram, feels less "personal" and I get the impression Twitter users LIKE the audience (but wish it was better moderated / less spammy / etc.).
