Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday announced the launch of Twitter Notes, the feature that would let users write long-form content on the platform, appears to be back on track.
“This will allow users to post very long, complex articles with mixed media. You could publish a book if you want,” Musk tweeted.
In response to a user’s tweet claiming that the Twitter Notes project had recently been rebranded as “Articles,” the owner of Twitter acknowledged the company’s ambitions.
Prior to Musk’s purchase of Twitter, the firm first introduced Twitter Notes in June 2022 as an experiment with a select number of authors in the United States, Canada, Ghana, and the United Kingdom.
The new “Write” tab on Twitter gave the writers access to write and access all of their Notes.
Additionally, they would have a Notes page on their Twitter profiles where their followers and other Twitter users could access all of their long-form writings.
The firm stated at the time that Twitter Notes allowed rich formatting and uploaded media, including the capability to incorporate pictures, videos, GIFs, and even tweets.
After they were finished, authors could tweet out their Notes to their followers, who could then like, bookmark, retweet, or share them in DMs, just like they could with regular tweets.
Elon Musk withheld all further information regarding the company’s plans for Notes, or Articles as it may now be termed, including when users would have access to the feature or when it would be live to the whole public.
The timing of the announcement coincides with the company’s efforts to retain creators in the face of heightened competition from Instagram Threads and other platforms.
