Twitter Blue is paid
Twitter has been working on a paid version of the service for a while. Nothing was known about name, price and functions yet, but something has now been leaked. That's how you get for $ 2.99 a month, detective Jane Manchun Wong discovered. She found out that the & lsquo; Twitter Blue & rsquo; will be called and that you will, among other things, be able to save your favorite tweets together with Bookmark Collections, so that you can easily find them later. It can be thought of as a bookmark feature for tweets.
The undo function is similar to that of Gmail: after sending the tweet, the service waits a while before the message is actually published. You can adjust this tweet timer to a value between 5 seconds and 30 seconds, according to Wong. Editing of tweets is still not possible. For average users, the undo function probably won't bother you. You can just as easily delete a misplaced joke or a misspelled message as soon as you notice your mistake. For well-known artists and politicians, where screenshots are immediately made of every wrong tweet that go all over the world, it can make sense.
Also functions of Scroll and Revue
In addition to these two functions, Twitter could also add the functionality of the Scroll service. This is a subscriber platform that Twitter took over last week that aims to support people and brands. You then pay a small fee, without seeing any advertisements.
Below is a demo of Scroll:
Twitter could also add a payment feature from Revue. This company took over Twitter in January and is targeted for social media newsletters.
Twitter itself hasn't announced the paid plan yet and doesn't seem ready to let it go live. Next week we can expect something different from Twitter, namely a return of the verification program with which you can get a blue tick. This too was discovered by researcher Jane Manchun Wong.
