Twitter now wants writers on their platform to publish long-form content with their new service, called Notes. It’s A blog and they just showed off their long-rumored feature for long-form writing as the company just confirmed that there are now beginning to test this new feature which will allow writers to publish freeform content on Twitter without any character limit, which is normally a thing on tweets.

Notes are essentially blocked posts that appear within Twitter or outside of Twitter, without the typical limitations of a tweet, there are no character limits, and writers can also embed photos, videos, and other tweets within a note. Riders can also share their notes via tweets and their published notes also appear on their Twitter profiles directly.
This new feature will significantly change our writers, interact with their followers, and give them more flexibility than the typical tweet storm [Threads]. According to Twitter’s editorial director Rembert Browne, “Since the company’s earliest days, writers have depended on Twitter to share their work, get noticed, be read, create conversation — everything but the actual writing, With Notes, the goal is to fill in that missing piece and help writers find whatever type of success they desire.”

Currently, this feature is only available to a very small group of writers from Canada, Ghana, and the UK, including the United States. Although the company says that they will eventually expand their test group as it gathers feedback from them, and it’s part of a broader push by Twitter to build more features for writers and with this change, the company is also bringing Revue The newsletter company they acquired last year to their new Twitter right group that will include notes and newsletters, and currently it’s unclear how newsletters will be incorporated into nodes, but we just have to see.
