Rumors about a s paid subscription on Twitter have surrounded the social network in recent years. In 2020, however, those led by Jack Dorsey recognized their interest in exploring a premium membership in the near future. Today we finally know the first details of said proposal, although not by an official announcement, but by a leak of Jane Manchun Wong (via 9to5Mac), the well-known developed that constantly advances the news of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
First of all, Manchun highlights that the paid subscription will be called Twitter Blue . Even more interesting, it would be available for $ 2.99 per month , which is approximately 2.5 euros or 60 Mexican pesos. Obviously, Twitter would adjust the price based on the region. As expected, Twitter Blue will integrate exclusive functions , which will have the objective of improving the general experience of users with the platform.
Interestingly, the leaked features include some that the community has been requesting for years. No, at the moment there is nothing about the “Edit” button, however, Twitter would instead offer you a function to prevent the publication of tweets with errors. This is the “Undo” button (Undo), the purpose of which is to cancel the publication before it is too late . In other words, before you make a fool of yourself in front of all your followers.
According to Manchun, Twitter will allow you to adjust the time of the “Undo” button . In this way, when you press the “Publish” button, you will see a counter of between 5 and 30 seconds , the time that will elapse before your tweet is sent. During this short period, you will have the opportunity to undo the post, either because you identified typos or simply regretted the content of your message. It is nothing that we have not seen before, since Gmail and various mail applications have implemented it for years.
Another novelty of Twitter Blue would be the Collections . Currently it is possible to store tweets by pressing the “Save item” button, however, we do not have the possibility to organize them depending on their content. Thus, the Collections will allow to create folders to have a better management of the saved publications. Finally, apparently they will also offer the option to create and share newsletters from the social network itself , this thanks to the purchase of Revue last January.
For now we do not know when they will launch Twitter Blue. What is clear is that is still under development and surely in the coming months we will learn more exclusive functions. One of them could be based on Scroll technology, a payment service acquired by Twitter that eliminates advertising blocks on information websites . A part of their income, of course, is distributed to the media as compensation.
