Elon Musk’s company Twitter is developing a feature that will allow you to post long-form content, articles, and books on the microblogging network.
Replying to a user tweeting about the in-development feature, which is apparently now called “Articles” instead of “Notes”, Musk said, “This will allow users to post very long, complex articles with mixed media. You could publish a book if you want.”
Twitter debuted the “Notes” function in June of last year as a method for users to write longer on the network, which was first limited to users in Canada, Ghana, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Twitter Notes, the firm claimed at the time, allowed rich formatting and submitted media, including the ability to embed photographs, videos, GIFs, and even tweets.
This was announced prior to Musk’s acquisition of the company. Since then, this is the first time Twitter has acknowledged the feature.
However, it is unknown when the Articles will be made available to the public.
The announcement comes as the firm seeks to retain creators in the face of rising competition from Instagram Threads and others, even providing them a percentage of ad revenue, which has resulted in some creators receiving five-figure payouts.
Many creators from all around the world revealed how much money they received from the microblogging platform as a result of the new program.
While one creator received $37,050, another received $11,820.
One developer even received $69,420 from the ad revenue program.
Meanwhile, Musk has shared the numbers regarding the increase in “Total User Active Seconds” on Twitter, noting that usage was up by 3.5 per cent week over week globally.
“Platform usage up 3.5 per cent week over week,” he tweeted.
According to the data he shared on the site, the majority of active users — nearly 87 per cent of people — were using the platform on mobile.
