Twitter is working on a new feature that will allow users to write more than just tweets. The feature, formerly known as Notes, has been rebranded as Articles, and will enable users to create and publish long-form content with multimedia elements on the platform.
The feature was confirmed by Twitter CEO Elon Musk in a reply to a tweet. Musk said that Articles will be the place to post “long, complex articles with mixed media,” and even suggested that users could publish books on Twitter.
Articles will be different from Notes in several ways. First, Articles will be separate from the main timeline, and will have their own section on the platform. Second, Articles will support various types of media, such as photos, videos and embedded tweets. Third, Articles will be shareable in tweets and will appear on users’ profiles.
Musk did not reveal when Articles will be launched or who will have access to it — it’s still under development. He also did not mention if Articles will be exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers or available to all users.
Twitter has been trying to diversify its offerings and attract more users and advertisers in recent years, more so since the Musk takeover. The company has introduced features such as Spaces, Fleets, and Super Follows, among others.
