Twitter has launched a new feature for Twitter Blue, its paid subscription model. IOS users now will be able to see a summary of the most outstanding news in the purest style of Nuzzel , the platform belonging to Scroll and which stopped working when the social network acquired the company in May this same year.
The feature, called Top Articles, is only available to users of Twitter Blue , a payment service that is currently active in the United States and New Zealand, but will soon reach other markets. Top Articles is hidden in the Twitter side menu and allows you to take a look at the most outstanding news that has been published through a tweet. The feature also offers an ad-free and distraction-free preview, as The Verge says.
Twitter Top Articles can now be used on Android, iOS and in the web version of the social network. Twitter Blue, remember, is priced at about $ 5 per month. In addition to the ability to get a summary of the most important articles, Twitter's paid service also offers the ability to edit or undo tweets, create folders with your favorite posts, modify the app icon, and more.
Twitter also bets on Threader for its subscription model
In parallel, Twitter recently confirmed the purchase of Threader, an app that is used to compile threads published on the social network . This platform had a premium mode that offered the user a much more intuitive preview of the threads, giving the possibility of reading them comfortably and without distractions. Now, these options are integrated into Twitter Blue, while conventional users will be able to make use of the compilation of threads through a bot.
At the moment, it does not seem that we are going to see a “free” version of Top Articles , as we do with Threader. Even so, the platform led by Jack Dorsey continues to add features designed for users who do not want to purchase the “premium” version of Twitter. Among them, the possibility of creating Spaces (also known as voice programs) or small tools that can be useful for day to day, such as the possibility of searching for tweets through a user's profile.
